Democracy

So, I have votes today. In fact, I have 3. Everyone’s been making so much fuss about a potential low turnout but actually, when it came up in the pub, most of the gang seem to have a view - I wonder how many of us will vote. I'm planning to, but it's easy for me cos its on my way home.

And by the way, bugger! I have just got an Egg card so that I can check my details on the net and Lloyds have gone set up my old credit card on the net finally! Typical

Internet banking is the greatest. I should get my credit card online I guess, since I've got two other accounts online and I love it.

I am bad. I am clueless as to what's happening and who's who in my ward so I am not voting.

I decided I wanted a mayor

Why not, I thought? Sneaking suspicion that it's because I like chains and robes.

I planned to vote, but I'm in the States and forgot to arrange a postal vote. I've been out here two weeks, and would have had to arrange it 4 weeks ago.

There was next to no coverage of the election before I left, and the opportunity passed me by. I wish it could be easier for people like me in this situation.

I dont get to vote today. This district had it byelection early due to a retirement.

I wouldn't have minded having a mayor but am too far away

Hmm. I have disenfranchised myself, methinks. Surely there was some form I should have filled out to get a postal vote? But it would have missed out the fun of voting on the sleepy day after May morning, anyway... sigh; now May morning I did miss.
