I actualy Voted

So for the first time in about 20 years, I actualy went out and bothered to vote.

I was thinking of voting BNP, but as I took my 12yr old daughter,(thought it would be educational to see how voting works) she told me I wasn't allowed, as mum is Polish and she is scared if BNP win, mum will be sent away :P

So how many of you also voted after years of seing it as pointless?

I always vote - never take it for granted or waste my vote - I think about the brave women who died so that we could have the luxury of voting! Z

We voted based on party colours in the end, not bad since the form was in black and white... (buggers didn't even give us a set of crayons, even mc donalds gives crayons!)

How does your 12y/o daughter know what the BNP stands for?

Aparently they talk in school, though as most kids around here are black or asian, it may also be how she heard of them.

Add on the fact she is Autistic and is literaly a walking sponge of information, you wouldn't expect a child to care about let alone listen too

"How does your 12y/o daughter know what the BNP stands for? "

Mine not only knows she actively campaigned against them and came to the poling booth to see exactly what happens. I openly talked to her about the dilemma I was in re voting with my heart or tactically and I think she understood.

So you should, I remember junior school, the Heath/Wilson (sorry, can't remember the Liberal) election, we were set a project to design and write a manifesto leaflet, I think I was around 12 then.

To suggest that our children either are or should be politically naive at 12 surely is wrong! For them to know that the BNP is a bad thing from the minute they leave the cot surely is a must!

Just out of interest - if you didn't work cos you don't want to work, and lived on benefits etc therefore no tax to pay or NI, prescriptions free, child care free, no pension worries, no mortgage worries, council tax rebates and on and on and on....... would you bother voting? What would be the point? Never thought about it before but intriguing me now! Any thoughts? Z

The TV people are suggesting a 66% turnout, up from 61% in 2005. I think it will be higher than that, around 70%.
