Go vote!
I mean it. If you live in the UK, you have 2 hours 49 minutes left to exercise your democratic right.
I don’t have time?
We walked the half mile to the voting station, there and back, registered, filled in the ballot paper and posted it in the box. 37 minutes including going and getting a lottery ticket. Get exercise, go for a drive. See what’s going on outside the four walls of your house, office or work.
Ballot stations are open until 10pm.
It’s only the local elections
Yes, you know, the people who decide on schools, road and pavement repairs, police funding, school funding, care in the community funding, housing policies and loads of other stuff.
Even if there is no-one you want to vote for, go and make that statement. Bet there’s someone you may want to vote against.
If you don’t, you’re silently saying everything is OK.
Same with the Police and Crime Commissioners. May not be who you’d vote for, but supporting someone stands against someone who don’t think can do the job. Not a great reason for voting but better than not bothering.
That’s the one: I can’t be bothered
Our ancestors helped get everyone a vote. Even prisoners now get to vote. Why wouldn’t you be bothered about making sure you made your voice count?
