In the UK:
Men got the vote in 1918. Following the horrors of the Great War, the country could not refuse the vote to millions who had fought through such hell.
The National Union of Women’s Suffrage Societies worked for 31 years to get women the vote on an equal footing with men, they achieved it in 1928.
The election is today.
About 2/3d’s of eligible adults attended the last one? And this was a record or something like that? Because of apathy? Because people can’t be bothered participating?
Apathy is for pussies if you pardon the language. Those who have fought and died for the right to cast a ballot would probably despair of our lack of consideration for what they fought for.
I don’t care who you vote for, I have not had the benefit of a lifetime of party influence to help make me staunchly pro-yellow team, or pro-blue team or pro-red team… And yes, I know the entire affair has taken on a farcical gameshow lightning round kind of feel… Like some kind of gleaming polished suited and hand-shaking American Gladiators without the benefit of any netting or pools of water.
And I did think Duffy came across a bit of a bigot (East Europeans are here *working, just like some Brits work in East Europe), and I do think Cameron is too smug for his own good, (and he has Thatchers nose.) and I do think Clegg is just the same.
So I won’t cast any shade on anyone’s personal choice. (unless you vote for the Fascists obviously, in which case shade is not all you’ll get).
Just know that participation is great and all of our responsibility, and it feels really good too.
And usually there are people giving away candies and free samples, another perk!!
Here endeth the rant, I will not commence badgering on about something less serious
