Hm...Interesting responses. i won't bother with a forum elections then. :lol:
I also only vote if I can have faith in my local mp. We have an excellent one so will be voting for him. If Paddy Ashdown was standing for PM though, I'd vote for the man, not the politics. I think he's totally never been self-seeking, and have a lot of time for him.
i do vote and make as much of an informed decision as i can however i really don't understand politics and if i can vote green i do
all politicians are opposite sides of the same circle as far as i can see..they are all shysters .....
however i vote for the reason you said jackie, not having a go at you at all but we have that right and so many people in other countries don't...it is a democratic thing and i feel we should use it.... _________________ www.lluesthorseandponytrust.co.ukwww.mountainsandmuckheaps.blogspot.com
I have no idea about politics, I just don't understand it all. I vote because Mark says I have to and it makes my life easier. I try and make the best choice I can. _________________ The Card Bee

Because I'm bl**dy grateful to live in a society where I can - remember the first South African elections after aparteid? All those hundreds of thousands of people queueing at the polls for the very first time? Some of those people had lived almost their entire lives without being about to register their opinion and now that they could, they almost all did so. Thats' why - because I can and I feel a responsibility to do so.
I find the very low turnouts in our elections here in the UK to be one of the most depressing things about living here... _________________ When I married Mr. Right, I didn't realise his first name was Always ...

I completely agree with why you vote, which is why I put that sentence in, so I wouldn't think you were 'having a go', I did suggest we all debate it
Perhaps I am 'lazy' and can't really be bothered about what each party wants/to give. The only reason (excuse) I can think of, my life was very difficult until I was 40 and trying to keep the politics correct at home, took all my energy ... but now life is so much more settled ... what is my excuse now
