Thurs 4th June – European Elections. Let’s vote?

I understand that it has only been 80 years since every man and woman over the age of 21 has been able to vote in the UK, so the novelty has probably worn off or something.

I’m not going to give the old “people fought for our rights to vote” bs, we’ve all heard that too many times in American movies. But it is a right, and a duty. If we want to see things done ‘right’ to our beliefs, then we have to take the simple step of voting for a political party. If we do not vote, we give facist parties like the BNP an opportunity to snap up seats – this is never a good thing.

It’s really not hard, you can even vote by post if it’s a lazy thing. I just can’t understand why anyone would not want a say in the running of our country or our continent.

We’re not quite ‘The United States of Europe’, but Europe does have a lot of influence over the running of the United Kingdom, so let’s make sure we have MEPs that align with our actual beliefs. They are our voice afterall.
