Apologies if this threads been done already but I havent been here that long and was just wondering:-

Do you vote, an if so why?

Do you not vote, and again why?

I do, even if sometimes I feel its futile, I believe that if I don’t take part then I’ve got no right to complain, there’s a whole lotta wrong stuff goin on, an I like to have my say.

Yes!
I have voted in every election that I have been able to! Until the local elections this year that is, I had no information about any of the parties and therefore couldn’t make an informed decision.
Although I have a certain party that I usually elect I am not about to vote for them locally when I haven’t a clue what their policies are! I know many people including my boyf who vote for the person who looks the nicest or some other stupid reason. It has nothing to do with the people/voters but the government/local councils not giving the public enough info!

Oppps I’ve gone on a bit haven’t I!!

yes for general elections, not always for Council elections as there is often insufficient info on candidates/policies and the power of a Council can be hobbled by financial manipulation if they are in opposition to the current Government in power.

Also in the most recent elections I genuinely didn’t have anything to complain about with respect to the Council!

Compared to where I have lived previously and even (surprisingly) the more rural areas, our Council do actually deliver fairly good services, and keep the streets clean; they even finished road works a week early which shocked me!

The Council was (and remained) No Overall Control which might have something to do with it..

I do have a nasty feeling though that “democracy” is actually being pushed out by the ruthlessness of market forces,

Corporates can easily manipulate even national governments by choosing where they will invest substantial sums of money, and there is thus a “market-friendly” consensus forced onto any political party which wishes to remain in power..

Have you ever seen a documentary film, i think it was called ‘the corporation’?

Essential viewing, I had a video of it but lent it to someone and . . .

Voted in both general elections I’ve been eligible to vote in (01 and 05) but never vote in locals etc.

No logical justification for not voting on locals tbh – just laziness lol

I don’t judge, like i said sometimes I feel its futile but . . .

for those of you who, totally understandably, don’t vote have you ever thought about it like this:-

If they took away our right to vote tommorrow and turned UK into an official dictatorship would you be out there with me and all my mates rioting? :bounce_fl
