Like the topic says...
If you're 18 years or over are you voting today?
If not, why aren't you taking up your democratic right?
Not interested in :
* How you're voting...
* What you think of the EU...
* What you think of Ken Livingston...
* What you think of your local council...
* etc.

Actually, I'm going to go vote right now, but only for Mayor of London and London Assembly, since I already voted for European Parliament last week in the embassy of my country...
On a side note, most of my British friends have told me that they are not going to vote today, they consider it a waste of time... Amazing!!!

I can't say I feel drawn to any of the polical parties and wouldn't trust a politician as far as I could throw them, but I always vote and end up choosing the one I feel is 'best of a bad bunch'. As GDB says, if you don't vote you can't complain when descisions are made which you don't like.
I am in one of the postal vote areas so had no excuse whatsoever not to vote. Just hope Royal Mail safely delivered my ballot paper, have had a few items of mail go astray lately and a shocking program a few weeks ago about the state of Royal Mail has left me even less confident!
The whole postal vote thing is a double edged sword. It will encourage more people to vote as lazy, apathetic people won't have to prise themselves away from their tv/Playstation/etc, but how can I be absolutely sure my ballot paper reaches its destination? At least when you vote at polling station you deliver your vote in person into the ballot box.
