... And vote ! Love Election Day , one man ( or woman) one vote... This is a brilliant right for the common man, that many people have fought for over the years.

... I may or may not be happy with tomorrows result, but I do believe that no one seeking to get elected wants to do a bad job !!!

We might not agree with them, but I do believe that they all want to make the best of a difficult situation.

Every single person that can vote, must vote, whichever way they want to cast it. The only way our political system can work.

not voting is also a powerful vote it shows that the person has no faith in any of them I dont believe all partys are trying mearly wanting to keep their own pockets full

Not voting means you can't moan about the outcome.

Some say spoilt ballot papers show that you wanted to have your say but didn't want anyone on offer.

Me? I posted mine in a while ago.....not saying what I did but I sent it in so I can moan

E.K . Glasgow

If no one voted then maybe they would take notice but even on turn outs of less than fifty percent who ever gets most votes wins the seat so if only one person voted that candidate would win . What chance is there that in one constituency no one voted at all ? Slim to none I think .

No vote means nothing.

Defacing the ballot slip by drawing cocks next each of them means it has to be recorded...

That's what a no vote is all about.

totally agree, and agree with a previous post that if you dont vote then you have no right to moan about any political party/decision etc

The late George Carlin...If you vote and you elect dishonest, incompetent people and they get into office and screw everything up, you are responsible for what they have done. You caused the problem. You voted them in. You have no right to complain. I, on the other hand, who did not vote, who in fact did not even leave the house on Election Day, am in no way responsible for what these people have done and have every right to complain.

I wont complain either way...

I never have trusted any parties

I've paid my way as much as possible

I dont see things getting better, or getting worse

so much spin from each party..in the end they take,they give,then they take back

monies are fiddled,lies are told...and those that voted them in allow it to happen..and someone will then tell me I should have voted?

I still think people have a blinkered view on any political system being perfect..nobody is happy on the left,right or center..unless you believe in an extreme position to be honest, and we all know how that works out....

Sorry but I think that is utter rubbish. If you vote people in and they are dishonest then don;t vote them in again - that is what democracy is about.

Just not bothering to vote at all is abdicating any responsibility - I count spoiled papers as a vote.

so its utter rubbish if I dont really want any particular party knowing it'll be the same big players anyway..they'll all blame each other for the last parties mistakes,then make the same ones themselves..
