oooh I forgot that was today. I have a nasty Doctor appointment as well, bah.

[lpetersson.livejournal.com]

But surely you can go to the pollingstation as well...
It should be open from 7am - 10pm.
Plenty of time.

I refuse to vote.

It's a lifestyle choice.

We had the postal vote crap, i just couldnt be assed figuring it out and getting witnesses to sign it, load of bollocks in my opinion.
I did like pasteys method though of drawing on an additional bow and writing next to it "none of the above"

Now there's a good way of motivating people to vote by post...

[zenmeisterin.livejournal.com]

Ditto. Luckily mine is not too far from where I live.

I never bother to vote, its like the book animal farm, no matter who's at the top of the ladder, things never change for those of us at the bottom.

[lpetersson.livejournal.com]

And because of opinions like that, things will never change...

[lhawksey.livejournal.com]

Maybe, they wont but I proberly never will vote. Maybe the goverment should just dispand and give all the power back to the Queen/king. I doubt they could do a worse job.

Good point.
I don't believe in Democracy anyway...

Didnt even know there was a vote today :S.....then again i refuse to watch news or read papers on the grounds its too depressing.

[lee-c-rip.livejournal.com]

Actually I havent even recieved a voting card so I'm asuming this is a London only thing or something...

[lpetersson.livejournal.com]

You have to be on the electoral roll to vote.
And it is nationwide.

[lee-c-rip.livejournal.com]

Hmmm odd ...I am. Usually always get a voting card and always use it. Only to stop the tories getting in though. It only really matters on a general election though. Smaller ones dont make any difference.

[lpetersson.livejournal.com]

But if you, and all others with the same attitude, took an interest in the world of politics and voted, maybe the papers wouldn't be so depressive.

[lee-c-rip.livejournal.com]

I do to an extent. I just vote labour to keep the tories out.

Its a case of you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't I think.

I havent got a clue what we're voting for tho. Is it local elections? I've heard the European Parliament mentioned a lot...I thought it was supposed to be a vote for a MEP...I'm confused.

Never understood politics. It's also gonna be the first time I've been elligable to vote. Haven't got a friggin' clue

Actually they would - people will always kill each other and be evil towards animals and children, regardless of who runs the country. Unfortunately :(

Good luck trying to vote. I had a great time. Got there around lunch time with my little card to be told that I've got a letter next to my name which means I can't vote. So why am I on the list? I argued with them for a bit because I knew I was right before going home to call the people in charge to complain. Outside our front door I found the lady from the local Polling Station telling me they made a mistake and I am eligible to vote after all. So back I went - only to be told that I can't vote for the European Parliament. I really couldn't be bothered to argue my case yet again. Still, got my vote in for the London Assembly and the Mayor - for all its worth.... Also had a look at the Green Party statements and was massively disappointed with most of their views.

Although I can't remember what they wrote exactly, I remember agreeing with the Green Party, so I voted for them and the LibDems :)
