I had forgotten all about them, and found them when I cleared out the purse I used for her. I just was not sure of the legality of it.0 -

My viewpoint (as a female) is that many people died for me to get the opportunity to vote, so I always turn up and put something.
There have been times when I've crossed through the ballot paper because I've not felt any were worth voting for, or because none have made the effort to try to contact, via flyer or personal door to door etc.
This time I voted Conservative for the locals, because at 7am, they were the only representatives at the polling station. I'd gone down with the intention of spoiling my ballot paper because I had no knowledge of any of the local options, not did I have any idea what they were standing for. But the fact that two people got up early to represent their party and took the time to chat to me and were genuinely friendly won me over.
If I have to vote for someone, it stands to reason that the party that turn up at that time and make the effort to engage and do something, well they're probably the party that will make the effort to fight my corner if I ever need them to.
Can't say I like their leader, (in fact I detest him), but on a local level they seemed like the guys who would get stuff done.
Perhaps not the best reason to vote, but then again, if nobody votes, how long until the government decide that democracy is not what the people want and turn to something worse.
Just my strange view of the world, I'm sure there's plenty who disagree and I'm happy to debate that. Do love a good debate
I always vote, I feel strongly about it. I don't feel that people can moan about what's wrong if they haven't been a part of trying to make it right.
That said...I also respect people's decision not to and can understand why, in our current climate, some people don't. I was massively underwhelmed by our 3 candidates today. My vote was more a keep the worst ones out....than get the best one in vote because none were impressive
I was really surprised at the lack of candidates for a local election0 -
