Did You Vote Today?

Just about to... and is it safe to say it will be a protest vote - UKIP. I'm fed up of the arrogance of the 3 main parties. I'm fed up of not being given hard facts, only opinions, and being told vote 'x' coz "its the right thing to do." I'll decide what's the right thing for me, not some jumped up Etonian who hasn't got a grip on what life is really like.
 
No.

I don't pay close enough attention to the prospective candidates to make a considered choice. That, and I couldn't be bothered.
 
Just on my way to vote and I can assure you that it will not be for the single issue lot led by joker Nigel. IMO the biggest hypocrite in UK political life.
 
There Is no party or person I trust or have belief in

Vote card was ruined and put in the box
 
No, I voted once when I turned 18 and have not voted since, I'm now 45. I live in an area that is staunch labour and no matter what I vote it will always remain a labour seat. As for todays MEP vote, meh, politicians are all as crooked as each other, they'll give you all the platitudes and tell you what you want t hear to get your vote, then stab you in the back.

Anyway this country is screwed now as it stands, to many elected governments whose leader has yellow jelly for a backbone has each in turn managed to progressively make a worse job than the government that came before.

Just waiting for the day I can buy my own island and be my own government.
 
No.
None of them convinced me enough that they would represent me and not use the status as a means of setting themselves up with Directorships and seats on Boards when they finish being an MEP.
So I decided not to increase the chances of any of them getting the job for the next "X" years.....

you not have local elections too?
 
Yes, I voted late this afternoon but fear my hour at the range will prove time better spent than voting for a bunch of lying thieving scumbags!
 
Just back. Almost didn't bother but my Dad always told me it was a privilege never to be taken for granted.

Your Dad was correct, in my opinion of course.

Anyone seen the hijacked twitter tag #whyimvotingukip some crackers on there,

'Because I'm worried black people will start breeding with gay people and we'll create a master race of amazing dancers'

'
because not even my cats speak English and there's two of them and one of me and I feel marginalised in my own home.'

Quality...
 
As someone suggested on the radio the other day to those who say "none of the parties represent me"; contact your MP/MEP/local councillor via email, letter or the local surgery, tell them your grievances etc. and ask them what they're doing about it? Do it even if they're not the party you voted for.

Get your friends to do the same, make the people who are representing you know what you think and keep pestering until you get a reply or some action.
