My dad said to me when i was 17 he said that if you dont go and vote then you have no right to complain about the council/government. Even if you didnt vote for the one's who got in you still have the right then to complain. It doesnt take 2 mins to put your x in the box. Might take you longer to get to the polling station but what is 2mins out of your life.

Ive never missed voting yet - i promised him i would always vote unless i was took to hospital as an emergency. Most of the time mine is the first in the box anyway!!!

If you are going away there is always postal votes (you listening slinks and ginger) or if you want there are proxy votes where someone can go and vote for you.
