CAN HAZ NEW GOVT?

Please vote.

Even if you think it's a wasted vote, even if you think they're all as bad as each other, even if you're in the wrong sort of safe seat, even if it's bloody cold out there, even if there are no decent candidates in your constituency, even if there's a queue, even if there's a Tory hanging around outside trying to engage you in conversation, even if you're really busy, even if you can't find your poll card, even if you wish 'hung parliament' referred to nooses and gallows, even if you have been traumatised by canvassers, even if it takes a while to climb over the mounds of propaganda that've drifted in through your letterbox, even if that book / DVD you've been waiting for has just arrived, even if you're afraid of encountering a BNP activist, even if you don't give a damn.

Please vote.

Because sometimes one vote does make a difference.
Not round here it doesn't - it just falls into the weeny pile of non-Tory votes...

Because people died in the cause of votes for women
True, but I always read that as a fight for the choice of women to vote.

Because a vote for what you think is right balances someone else's vote for what you think is wrong.
And round here that still leaves a Tory majority of umpty million. And that was when Labour were riding high.


I don't object to voting per se - I voted in the London Mayoral elections. And even then the Borough voted Tory. Without some change to the system - PR, compulsary voting, I dunno - my vote where I live now is just a waste of paper.

Because if there are to be negotiations on PR then your vote could be taken into account in those negotiations.
