Registering to vote

[Less]

I know we've talked about this before but can't find the thread, so here we go again.

It doesn't seem a long time ago (just before the last election) I got a letter stating that I had to register to vote, this I did online, it was followed up by some guy turning up on my doorstep (on a Sunday) telling me I had to register to vote.

I told him I had registered online, ah well you'd best fill in this form, they are so far behind and sometimes you wouldn't be registered in time.

I filled in the form.

A few weeks ago another 'MUST FILL IN THIS FORM TO BE ELIGIBLE TO VOTE' fell through my letterbox, I registered online.

I missed the guy today, but he has stuffed a form through my door insisting I register, or lose my vote.

1/ Is the internet system broken?

2/ Is this guy just trying to keep his overtime on a Sunday going about saying the internet is broken.

3/ Having seen the way politics and politicians are behaving is there a great deal of point registering either through this guy or online?

After all we had a democratic vote about the EU it came down on the side of leaving, are we leaving? Are we even close to leaving? Is democracy a waste of time?

Am I wasting my time and lot's of public money by signing up to this system?

This happens to us all the time. Phone the number on the letter, and they will enter you on the polling register.

Maybe you get to vote twice les, maybe three.
