genuine question. im curious.
what do you think your vote could achieve?
im not saying it wont achieve anything (though it wont) but if you intend to vote, there must be some purpose to it. what do you see, that the 70% or so that wont bother wasting their time, dont see?

Good question Bob.
The younger adults are not interested in voting compared to the baby boomers. The percentage of those who vote are on the decline as the oldies die out. Especially with this being the EU Parliament elections, i think only referendums can improve these declining stats. I won`t be voting. |

When the returning officer reads out the results, he should leave a 10 second gap between the candidates name and the number of votes received. And have the de-dum de-dum music playing in the background. And get a Dermot o'leary clone to read out the results.
That should double the turnout! |

Good points there Keef.
Perhaps the voting system should go mobile Apt/social networking sooner rather than later. `Me i is voting for the all-night party. Bez is the man on fracking wooosh!` Perhaps this could be typical of a Facebook status by the GE 2015. |

I don't care much for what the European Parliament does, but I voted (by post) because it's a mini referendum on the parties as they stand and the results will help shape opinion in the run up to the general election.

If I do both to get out of bed to vote, it'll be UKIP on sufferance. I disagree with several of their main policies (immigration being one of the main ones) but they still represent my views more closely than the other parties. That being said, I'll probably be the only man in Scotland who does.
