The "snowflakes" of the United Kingdom have something to say: get out and vote.

High-profile influencers have teamed up to create a video urging young people to exercise their democratic right in the General Election on Dec. 12.

The video urges young voters to #CancelTheHaters and make sure they head to polling stations to have a say in the election.

"Fix the planet you destroyed, eradicate your misogyny with our equality, eliminate your homophobia with our openness," influencers declare in the video. "We will strike, march, protest, rebel, vote for a better world and make sure our voice is louder than yours, we're coming after your hate."

The video — produced by ad and music agency Truant London — features former Love Islander Dr Alex George, grime artist Saskilla, grime MC and professional footballer Kamakaze, and many more. The video was directed by Harry Deadman and produced by CANADA.
