Voting

Well been n done the deed but they were 2 mins late in opening. :eek::eek::eek: Something to do with councillors checking the boxes. But the councillors failed to appear. Must be too early for them to get out of bed. :p

So if i decide not to vote tomorrow because i think they all talk the same bull i can't complain yet if i vote and the party that wins isn't the party i voted for wins i can complain?
I don't see the sense it that tbh...:confused:
Personally i think that no matter who i do or do not vote for the country is in trouble so why should i bother?
Is my one vote really going to make that big a difference?
I think not...
Also if i voted labour and the tories get in ill be unhappy but if i don't vote and the tories get in ill still be unhappy but in your opinion can't moan ofc ill moan and whether i vote or not means nowt imho...:(

It's less than a hundred years since woman and a large majority of working men have won the right to vote.

The struggles those people went through will have been wasted if you as a woman can't drag your backside off the settee and down to the polling station.

If you don't believe any of the people are of any use then make sure your vote is ruined, (easy enough just vote for two people), this will make sure it goes onto a different pile to the rest, that pile will be counted and if enough people do this rather than sit at home moaning that they, can't be bothered, the people that do gain the power will know there are some unsatisfied people out there.

It is your right to vote or not, but how can you complain about the system or what is going on if you aren't prepared to do just this one little thing yourself?

Right, I'm off to my polling station now to get a place in the queue, this year will be a busy one I'll be behind a load of ne'er do wells that have never voted before and will be asking the guy in charge how to spell 'X'.

:)
 
I've voted too.........just had mac out for his walk this morning and he pulled me in.........It's that Graham Jones been whispering in his lughole :D
 
After not sleeping for days, and days, which makes my condition worse, I finally slept.

Hurrah.

Sadly, in this much needed slumber, I dreamt it was announced on television that Hyndburn had been taken by an Independent...which turned out to be Logan!!!!

I will definitely be casting my votes today.


:D
 
Can i first defend myself by stating i didn,t say i wasn't going to vote i was just mouthing off and i apologise for that i was a little tipsy and had a little rant :o

And for the record i have voted and therefore will be moaning like a good un for the next four years :D

While it is a good citizens duty to vote...and yes I know that some women gave their lives so that we could have this privilege, I do think that it has to be acknowledged that a large section of the electorate are feeling disconnected from politics. Whose fault is that do you think?
You have the right to withdraw your labour if you feel that your employer is giving you a raw deal........and I think you should be able to decide to withold your vote.......especially when the current range of candidates for leadership are so poor and appear(to me, at any rate )to be lacking in backbone.
I seriously considered not using my vote today.
So what stopped me from exercising this right? My daughter did......so if you saw me being frog marched to the polling station on Barnes St......why didn't you come to my aid?
It is a good job daughter couldn't come into my polling booth......or I would have been made to rub out all those funny faces.

Who-ever gets in today is in for a very rocky ride....and that means that we'll also be in for a turbulent time too.

margaret if she'd gone into the polling booth with you the vote wouldnt have counted .. as its a secret ballot and no one is allowed to be in the polling booth with you

You're welcome to enter the polling station with a friend, says Connelly. But voting is a private matter so you must be alone when you go into the polling booth and mark a cross on the ballot paper. If you have any questions about the procedure, polling station staff will be happy to help.

If on the other hand, you have a disability, or are unable to read the ballot, and cannot vote on your own, the presiding officer can help. A family member or friend could be permitted to accompany and assist.


BBC News - What can you NOT do in a polling station?
 
I know jen....and pretty glad I was that she was not allowed to come in with me...though it would have been quicker...crosses are easier to do than faces...especially one with horns on:D
 
by the way i got asked today where a polling station was ..this was while i was in haslingden today .. nothing new i hear you say .. thing was it was a candidate for the general election who asked me .... now if you dont know where your polling stations are in the area you are standing ... why are you standing in that area?
