    :eek::eek::eek:

    That really shocks me Sami.

    I do not for a second want to start a debate about politics but I would have thought you would be someone who is interested and wanted to exercise their right.


    I give my staff time off to go and vote because I believe it is important that they should.

    I'm surprised too! Sami, I really thought you would have voted.

    I always tell OH around election time he will have no right to moan about tax & government stuff if he can't be bothered to vote but he always says his one little vote won't change anything.
    I vote & then have a good old moan about everything! :rotfl:

    On behalf of my employer (actually, former employer as of 1 April :cool:), tell your OH he's full of crap! 1 vote can matter, because if everyone said that then no one would win anything.

    Read the manifestos, listen to the debates and go with whoever ticks the most boxes for you.

    I used to go mental at my ex because he just voted the same way his parents voted without even bothering to check out if the politics aligned with his thinking at all!!


    Edit - don't try and read the whole manifestos!! They are massive, there is usually a summary on each party website.
