If you feel that not of the major parties are fit to govern that use you vote for one of the other parties in protest, you will not change anything by sitting at home.

I have to agree with you neither of the major parties look capable of changing anything and are not very forthcoming on what they are going to do but rather what they think the other is going to do.

In the end it comes to personalities and who you would rather run the country. Tony the Tyrant or Mad Willy, I agree neither so it looks like my Cross will go in the Charles the Jock box.

I think that the right to vote is an important one which mostpeople should be entitled to have. But along with this right comes the responsibility to use it wisely, and if people do not think that any of the parties offer them anything, then the wisest way for them to use their vote is not to. If people do not vote for the sake of it then they should habe their right to vote removed, but thats just my view.

It's a fair point well made.

I just have a problem with both the major parties.
Whilst I dont believe that whoever you vote for makes a difference in the end, only the faces change, I have yet to be presented with the policies in a clear format.

I've looked at the posters, but they are just childish "Vote for them and you'll die" tactics, not one of them outlines manifesto and I resent childish scare tactics designed to use personality over policy.

There, my soap box is back in the cupboard

Guys

I think you should all vote in the election, remember your grandparents or greatgrandparents either gave their lives or knew people who did so that you would have the right to vote, so do not pass this by. There are other countries in this world were the people do not have the right to vote.

Sorry, I am off my soap box now and normal service will resume.

SNP, SNP, SNP oh ah. SNP, SNP, SNPPPPPPP!!

I am not going to bother because no party has said anything i think worthwhile, so I wont throw my vote to someone just for the sake of it.

Although that Charles Kennedy, I like the cut of his gib

I have to walk about about 20 meters to go and vote. Our local polling both is stationed in the common room in our halls of residence.

I don't think I'll bother. I have several reasons, one of which being that our common room has been out of action for 3 days because of this disruption, which has been highly irritating.

Little booths set up locally, usually in a school or village hall.

The stations have been open since 7am and will close at 10pm.

(yes, I know...I know, I'm making a point about voter apathy)

There's a thread for it in the FoG Chatter section.
