i saw an old lady using 2 walking sticks making her way to cast her vote so it does kinda irk me a touch when some 30 odd year old dope head whinges about their benefit been cut and then states they couldnt be bothered to vote
mind you under tory rule one of those walking sticks may be claimed back by government
i did my bit but sadly my team lost

I have, in the past withheld my vote....It is my choice to do that especially when I feel there is no party worthy of my vote.....I also think that I have the right to express an opinion...whether I voted or not.
On the times when I have withheld my vote, I have still schlepped along to the polling station to write something appropriate on the ballot paper.
I do not slavishly follow one party....I am one of those people who think about the impact of my vote.
I voted last time for a man that I thought had the interests of our town at the heart of what he was doing. Someone who knew what life was like in our neck of the woods....someone who would perhaps represent us well.
I found out that this man is more interested in climbing up the political ladder than representing what his constituents want.
Needless to say, this man did not get my vote this year.....and won't ever get my vote again regardless of what happens in the world of politics.
