A DAY AT THE POLLS
I've been spending the day at East Dulwich, helping the local LIBERAL DEMOCRACTS (Lib Dems) with their canvassing. I'm not overly political, but I confess that I do have a motive for wanting to see the Lib Dems do well. My cousin Mark, is the local council chair and is a candidate for the Village Ward.
The Lib Dems have been canvassing with a passion this year. I beleive that they started their rounds at half past five this morning. Now that is dedication. You won't catch me doing anything at that hour. I've done a few rounds of canvassing with my cousin Mark and the general outlook seems fairly positive. People have certainly noticed and made mention of the work of the Party. Time will tell how their fare at the polls, though I have to say, they have worked really hard with their campaign. Whatever the outcome, they will definately have done a lot better than they've ever done before. And so they have everything to gain. It is a long day and a longer night ahead. I really wish them the best of luck.
I've always been of the opinion that it is critical for every voter to cast their vote. Most people are sadly disillusioned with politics or are simply indifferent in their attitude towards the ballot. The simple fact is, that it is the people who have control over who governs their local councils and in a large sense their countries. Decisions made by councillors on budget allocation and services effects every one and that is why it is so important for people to have say, as to what their needs are and how these needs are addressed by councils.
Frankly if you don't vote, you don't have a voice and are therefore not entitled to an opinion. If you don't make the effort when it matters, then you have to shut up and put up. Because you
if you fail to make a difference, when you have the opportunity to do so, you can't really afford to complain afterwards.
So for those voters that are undecided or who can't be bothered to vote, I'd urge you to reconsider and to cast your vote, for the party that you beleive will best address your needs. This vote affects your day to day life and surely, therefore, it is important to have your say.
