REPORTAGE
As December 12, the date of the UK general election, approaches, the campaign intensifies ... and sometimes takes on original forms. The parties are mobilizing to push the British to vote. A group against Prime Minister Boris Johnson has found an original idea to mobilize young people: a rave party! They rented a bus for a parade, not just anywhere, in Uxbridge, in Boris Johnson's own riding.
"Fuck Boris!", Can we hear when approaching the bus. On the roof of the vehicle, the speakers are at maximum. On the side of the bus, a slogan gives the "the": "Clear Boris!". Nearly two hundred people are singing or shouting. Rosa, the organizer, is delighted. She wants to motivate young people to register on the electoral lists: "We know that young people are much less likely to be registered and to vote, they are more likely to vote against Boris Johnson. they are poor, it is important that these people can vote. "
"This bus clearly displays the color"
In the streets, the inhabitants stop, astonished. Some film the scene while others dance, like Isabelle: "It really catches the attention! It's a big problem that students do not vote and we do everything to encourage them. This bus clearly displays the color and maybe that's what we need: sharp opinions. "
Protesters are convinced, Boris Johnson may not be re-elected. Ollie Labor's vote: "In 2015, he had a majority of 10,000 votes, in 2017 it dropped by half, 5,000 votes, people understood what he stands for and ... yeah, we have a real chance to get there !" 2,000 leaflets distributed later, the bus stops for a last concert. According to the organizers, hundreds of people have registered on the electoral lists.
