[Margaret Pilkington]

In reality, it doesn't seem that voting does make a difference.....in the main on issues that really concern the electorate, the parties do not listen....they do what they think is best for us.

If voting truly did make a difference, then they would stop us from doing it.
The powers that be let us vote so that we think we can influence things.....to give an illusion of demovracy.
If there was democracy, we would have had a chance to vote on the fiasco that is the EU. The parties don't want us to vote, because they know what the outcome would most likely be.
