Did You Vote Today?

I'm voting by proxy at home.

But I didn't feel right voting over here in Leeds, as I'm not really attached to the area as of yet and I'm only a student here so not around full time.

As for UKIP, I just don't understand how people can vote for them, yes they want out of the EU but they also want to do away with maternity leave and think that employers shouldn't have to hire women if they want to have children.

As for the detachment that people have from other politicians because of their public school education, Farage went to Dulwich College which is a public school as well

I don't want to get too political but in my 25 years of having my own business (very small one) I would never have contemplated employing a women of child bearing age and I think that view is shared by a large number of small business employers.

That decision is yours obviously, but do you not think it is sexist?

you do realise it's not a disease! in fact it's something you as an employer can plan for well in advance.

try planning for an employee being off on a long illness.:whistle:

where I am we hire the candidate thats right, male or female:thup:
 
Yup I did but for all the actual good it'll do.
Went NI21 this time as they are at least trying to be forward thinking not like the knuckledraggers of every other party here.
 
No I didn't, and it is the first time in years that I haven't. I have no idea who the candidates are or what they are standing for so I couldn't make a decision. All the emphasis here is about the yes/no referendum in September and there has been no canvassing whatsoever. We didn't even get a leaflet through the door.
 
Lots of reasons folk put up for not voting - mostly IMO spurious - but I voted because those most likely to vote in these such elections are those with the more extreme views. And if those of us not of that parish don't vote, then we get the representatives we deserve but who most certainly don't represent us.

I can't plan for the extra pay she'll cost me, then all the extra time off when one of the kids are sick and the fact she might only return to work for a few weeks before deciding to have another child, then another and then, after taking all the maternity pay, decide not to come back anyway.

I always hired the right candidate, they just always happened to be older men!

Don't worry, I doubt any intelligent women would want to work for you anyway.
