Vote

Unless you’ve been living under a stone, suffered brain death over the past week, or read The Daily Star, then you’ll know that today is the day of the local elections here in the UK. It is a sunny day, so you should value a little walk to the polling station. Of course, if you are a total voting junkie like me, you’ll have got up early and would have already voted by now (yep, Boris has at least one vote). I appreciate not everyone will have voted yet, but everyone who has a right to vote should vote today.

I don’t care why you do it. Be it because you like your local councillor, think your council in general should be replaced, or because you are paying too much council tax. You may vote to mock Gordon Brown and really wreck his day, or you might have bought into the vapid marketing exercise that goes by the name of David Cameron. Maybe you live in London, and finally have decided to kick the piss midget out. Maybe you can’t bear the thought of a toff as Mayor. I don’t care. I don’t even care who you vote for. Just do it. People fought and died for your right to vote, so however you are going to use your vote, just do it. Vote.

Vote.
