"I was shocked, when out for dinner the other evening , to discover that one of my friends - who's now in her early 40's has never voted! She felt her vote didn't make any difference. I've missed some of the local elections, but always vote in the General Election. Have you always voted or do you think it's not worth bothering ? " Always. General and local. | |||

"I voted last general election for the first time, and that was to keep the conservatives out. So i wasn't actually voting a party in, if that makes sense " Perfect sense, and just as valid imo | |||

Don't know why but i've never actually wanted to vote for anyone. I don't think all parties are the same, although they have their similarities, i just don't subscribe to a system that runs a whole country when we only need locally based governments. | |||

"I have always voted. Cannot understand why people don't." I gathered from my friend that she felt she didn't know enough about it and it made no difference. I'm hoping I've persuaded her that it does! | |||

"One of the funniest conversions I've had recently about politics was when a child asked me what the Conservatories party stood for! I had this vision of David Cameron as a double glazing salesman ! " I think you'd have done well not to swear in front of the nipper. | |||

I've missed some of the local elections, but always vote in the General Election. Have you always voted or do you think it's not worth bothering ? " In spite of the fact that our voting system doesnt really represent peoples views and has far too many 'politicians' who say anything to get a vote and then do whatever the highest bidder requests, I still cast my pointless vote and have done in every election I have been elegable to do so. | |||

"I've always voted and try to keep myself informed, I'm a firm believer that if you don't vote then you're not entitled to any comment or say in the next 5 years of government" You don't get any say in it if you do vote | |||

"I tend to miss the locals but I definitely vote in the general. I do think it should be compulsory in the general election - however I'm surprised there hasn't yet been an app created to allow people to vote. I'm sure the younger generation would be more inclined if they could do it from their phone" I'm sure one day it will go that way. I am not sure why, but I do like to still go along to the polling station and physically vote! | |||
