Election Day!!

[minervasolo]

I just voted. Feel all breathy and nervous. Hee, adrenaline. Voting adrenaline.

Some of the campus groups have been sending emails in a last ditch attempt to swing voters. The Labour one really pissed me off. Very dismissive line about Lib Dems being a wasted vote.

LIBERAL DEMOCRATS ARE NOT A WASTE OF A VOTE

If everyone who was dissuaded from voting lib dems by that line of thought did vote, I suspect they'd be very far from a waste. Even if they didn't get in, next election people will be looking at them and saying "Well, it was so close, my vote will really make a difference". If they don't get in this tme, it doesn't mean it's a wasted vote. It means they're more likely to get in next time.

And lets face it, between Labours lies and rightwing stance, and the mess the Conservatives made last time they were in power (and the mess of the party), do you really want to vote for either? Don't vote for someone you're only half interested in.

Actually, just VOTE. That's really the most important part.

Good for you! I'll be doing exactly the same thing in about four hours.

Seriously fed up about the local politics lark.

Let's see Lib Dem for the general election (don't even ask my opinion on the Labour Candidate), Tory for the County Council, because they're actually quite decent at it.

We've had a conservative MP in Surrey for over a hundred years, and it was a bit unimpressive. Lib Dem got in last time, and were really helpful, so i know which way my family are voting ^_^ I'd love to see Lib Dem in power, but I don't think it's quite going to happen. Probably next time, though. They just need to show people they really are on a par with hte other two parties, and people won;'t be wasting votes.

If I told you that the Labour MP is just as much a two faced git as his leader, and his name rhymes spectacularly with "tosser", and accurate it is too, would you see where I'm coming from?
