Tomorrow is the Big day

Catergory : Politics

Tomorrow, May 6th, is the big day; Election day.

Although there is not quite as much electricity in the air as there was during the last American Election, There is certainly more than you would expect coming out of our isolated little island. For the first time this millennium, British politics has finally managed to peak its head just above the waters of 'interesting' and is thoroughly enjoying a few well needed gasps of air; It can't last, but I intend to enjoy it while it does.

If you're able to vote tomorrow, do it. Forget how unfair the system is, push aside that nagging thought that tells you that your vote is worth slightly less than spitting in a river and exercise your democratic right to have a say in who runs your country. Human beings have not had such a privilege for long, and indeed many still don't, so don't squander your freedom.

On the subject of who to vote for, Might I suggest this interesting website if you are unsure, on the fence, or just want to see which party lines up to YOUR values. But whoever you vote for, make an informed decision, think for yourself...and whatever you do don't 'vote tactically'. If you want a particular party in power, vote for THEM, not the party which is similar, but worse, but more popular; If you want to see YOUR party in power then how the hell is voting for someone else ever going to help? People, and the media, pay attention to the parties which garner the most support and it's very hard to show support for a party whilst voting for another.

Have fun being democratic
