Little Mix Call On People To Vote Labour

In case you missed the memo: the election is happening today. Right now. If you've been on social media., you'll no doubt see that some have taken the opportunity to announce who they’re voting for - instead of just posting photos of dogs at polling stations - hoping that they can encourage others to follow their vote.

Alongside vocal supporter Stormzy{ =nofollow}, some of pop’s finest ladies have made it clear that they’re voting Labour. Dua Lipa and Lily Allen have already confirmed that they would be voting for Corbyn, and, now, Little Mix have announced they will be placing their ‘x’ next to Labour.

Posting on Twitter yesterday, the group’s account shared a photo of Jade Thirlwall in a ‘for the many, not the few’ jumper, writing that she’s voting for Labour as ‘we need to save our NHS. Labour believes in funding the arts. They support the fight against climate change. Their manifesto supports equality and the LGBT community.’

Jade’s statement came after Vice published an article titled ‘Why Aren’t Feminist Celebrities Talking About The Election?’ yesterday which noted that some celebrities who profit off appearing progressive and discussing feminism, have been reluctant to talk politics when this election rolled around. (The outlet also got in touch with 15 celebrities PRs to ask who they’re voting for, and none stated an answer.)

It's not just women who have been accused of keeping quiet. Others on social media have noted that indie group The 1975 haven't been too vocal throughout this campaign, when they actively campaign about global warming and rights for the LBGT+ community (Healy kissed a male fan during a concert in Dubai, where homosexuality is illegal). As one Twitter user observed: ‘The 1975 spending 18 months positioning themselves as A Political Band then disappearing as soon as the election showed up is actually v funny.’

There have, as is traditional, been fewer celebrity endorsements for the Tories. Alan Sugar and Katie Hopkins have shown support, and designers Anya Hindmarch and Kelly Hoppen were part of 50 female entrepreneurs who have called on people to vote Conservative.
