Polling bollocks


This will be, I promise, the one-and-only blog I post that mentions the upcoming General Election. So allow me to make a couple of quick points:

It worries me that lots of people are planning to vote, and yet seem to have no understanding of how elections, parliament and democracy actually work.

Why is such an importance being placed on how the Party leaders are doing in televised debates? The last time I looked, we vote to elect our LOCAL MP, not a national leader. We’re not America.

I’ve never met one person who has had their mind changed about something by reading someone else’s social media posts. So what is the point of flooding your online presence with ‘reasons to vote like me’ or ‘reasons not to vote for the others’? You’re not going to affect anybody.
