We live in a democracy.
In many countries citizens don’t have the right to vote, they live in a place where one leader decides everything, North Korea for example. It’s a right we however, to have access to. So vote and take advantage.

The suffragettes.
Thousands of women spent years campaigning to get the right to vote, many even gave their lives, perhaps most famously Emily Wilding Davison. We owe it to them, out of respect, to use our vote.

You have the power.
Choose a candidate whose policies best suit you. You can make the change you want.

Young people will benefit more.
Nick Clegg stiffed students in the coalition but that doesn’t mean you have to
give up. The more young people who vote the more they will benefit. If a large
percentage of votes are coming from the younger generations, politicians will
create more policies to benefit them.
5.
Safe seat constituencies.
You may live in a safe seat constituency but that doesn’t mean your vote won’t make a difference. Don’t let politicians get too comfortable. If you give up change will never happen.

You can leave your ballot blank.
A lot of people say they don’t agree with any of the parties, that all politicians are liars so in an attempt to rebel against them they don’t vote. By going to your local polling office and leaving the ballot blank you are making a much more effective stance than not voting at all.

It takes a few minutes.
You queue up, you enter the booth, you mark your vote (or don’t) and you pop it into the box. Simple as ABC.

Your vote does count.
Some 17million people failed to vote in the last election. Many of them though they’re vote wouldn’t make a difference. If those 17 million people had voted we could have had a very different government.

You will regret not voting.
If a policy or law comes into action and you don’t agree with it, it’s likely because you didn’t vote the party you wanted into government.

It’s not that far!
A lot of people say they simply can’t be bothered to register or even to go down to their local polling station. Registering takes 5 minutes, going to your local polling station takes 5-15 minutes depending on how close you live. That’s not that long
