Its election day!!!
(also last day for cheap discounts while renewing the season ticket, if you haven't already!)

So who you gonna vote for?!
Me?
I'm undecided.
When it was the local elections in Derby, I was swamped by leaflets, from every kinda party going. So I stuck them all up on the porch door, it looked pretty funky, UKIP, next to Labour, Lib Dem next to BNP. I even did a Vote (real nickname) poster on the computer (which obviously had pride of place.)
Here I have nothing, I'm suspicious of these polling card things that came through the post, how do I know the places where I lived in Derby never got them too.

I wouldn't even know who the candidates here were unless I hadn't been reading Casino Avenue,
I was kinda looking forward to door-knockers and being stopped on the street to have people ask me who I was gonna vote for.
I refuse to just randomly tick boxes (MH is voting Lib Dem but when I asked her on the reasons why, the only one she came up with was the student loan one, she knew nothing of their other policies)
I refuse to go hunting online for information, and no one else seems to know anything.

So am I going to vote?
I don't know, I'm kinda apethetic about the whole thing, in the kinda "Why bother, they're all as bad as each other" kinda thing.
Then I think of the people that fought for women to have the vote and the people that don't get the chance and I feel that I should.
But if they can't be bothered to find me, why should I make the effort for them? If they wanted my vote that badly they shoulda come out and found me.
So! Political Parties out there.
You got a few hours to give me a reason!
Tick...
Tick...
Tick...
GO!...
