Vote! With the final squabbling done in the House of Commons, it now spills out on to the streets as there’s now four weeks of political double speak and false promises until the General Election on May 5th. But despite my contempt for certain politicians and they fact they only seem interested in you for this four weeks every fours years I believe is be beholden on all of us to vote, and I’ll tell you why. Firstly low turnout makes politicians lazy, as they know that they only have to appeal to dwindling number of core voters. Hence the simplistic, binary rubbish that passes as political discourse today. Secondly and most importantly if you don’t vote you can’t complain about what happens afterwards. Think of your vote as a right to whinge, beef and bitch post May the 5th.
