Making your vote count.

This morning we got a flyer through the letter box for the BMP. I was so angry I ripped it up and shredded it. I hate injustice of any kind. But to judge someone just because of the colour of their skin just makes my blood boil. In my opinion people like the BMP are scum. And I personally do not want to live in a country run by bigots like them. I know that our pollutions haven’t exactly been earning our trust lately. But I believe that actually it’s a wake up call for all of us. I know I have been guilty of taking our democracy for granted. I can’t say I have taken much notice of what happens in politics. Up until recently I didn’t even know the name of my local MP. It can seem so confusing and disheartening at times. After all aren’t all politicians just the same? What is the difference between the Tories and New Labour? You certainly can’t trust any thing they say, it’s all just spin.

But attitudes like that are when parties like the BMP slip in and politicians start to believe that they can behave however they like. This June vote and make it count. Let your local MP know what you are concerned about. Stand up and be counted. As the advert says ‘if you don’t vote you don’t have a voice’. Who do you want to be representing you in Europe? Who do you want to be voting on your behalf for policies regarding climate change or human rights? If you don’t vote you can’t complain when you don’t like the outcome.

Please do your homework and make your voice heard. Vote on June 4th.
