This may be an indirect way to save money, however your choice in the Holyrood and local council elections next month will affect your taxes, local services and many other issues for the next four years.

Please make sure that you're on the Electoral Register and that you use your vote on the 3rd of May.

    that's exactly the reason why I always vote, women literally died (or at least one did) in order to allow us to vote, no point in complaining that your little vote won't count, by the looks of things every single vote will count this year.

    I always vote and secretly look up to the sky and say thanks for my vote and hope I've made the right decision.
    I am full of joy, abundance, wealth and love.
    I am a money magnet. Money comes easily and frequently.

  • I always vote aswell.

    What really annoys me is when people tell me the just 'don't bother' to vote. Yet! They are quite prepared to moan constantly about they way things are being done. In my opintion you don't deserve to moan about it unless you actually get off your backside and go to vote, attempt to make a difference. With elections run on a first past the post system, where candidates win even though they are not the choice of the majority, every vote really does count.

    I know who I'll be voting for, I'm ignoring all the back biting in the papers- the 'vote for the lesser of four or five evils' campaigns.:confused:
