Last week the local elections took place and the public that could be bothered to vote decided to elect Labour back into all those seats that last time around they voted the Tories/Lib Dems into. The media say that this is a protest vote.
NO IT IS NOT!
The recent elections that have taken place in France and Greece are protest votes. Voters sweeping aside the status quo and giving a chance to those that have never had a sniff of political power in the past.
But what do we do here in the UK? We stay home and don’t bother to vote, or, we just vote for “the other side”. When is this country and it’s voters going to learn that democracy requires input from the common man/woman and that millions have died so that we CAN vote so make the most of it and make sure that you DO vote.
