So, voting for local elections is often called a waste of time. In my ward the slightly less than 10% who bothered to vote ended up in a dead heat and the candidates had to draw lots.

In some ways one could argue that it’s even more pointless if it comes down to a coin flip anyway. On the other hand it only would have taken one more person to be bothered and we would have had a result.

If I can manage to vote, anyone can manage to vote. Apply for a postal vote you lazy fuckers and you don’t have to even make a special effort.

Change can only be effected by the exercising of our right to vote. The one thing that you can guarantee is that all those with extreme views will vote, so unless you want to be governed by extremists, better get your voice heard and your vote counted.
