In reply to J1234:
> I totally agree with you, but (why does there always have to be a but?) I am aknowledging I may not vote, and if I am thinking that, it is a fair bet others are. It will be interesting to note the turn out. See you here on 9th June?
I don't understand your reasoning, are you saying you won't vote because nobody has made the effort to leaflet you so you won't make the effort to vote. That's daft if you even remotely care about what kind of country you live in or even have a view even if only on a on a single issue.
Or are you saying you really don't care, the country could be run by Greens or UKIP, Tories or Labour and still nothing will change? If so, you're wrong and you know it.
Or are you saying your MP's seat is so safe there's no point, you'd either be making them safer or voting for change that won't happen? Again, it's only safe because people bother to vote for the incumbent or are disheartened about voting for alternatives. Each cycle it gets worse because why vote for someone that "can't" win, what's the point... Why not register your support knowing all you're doing this time is making it easier for others to believe, to hope enough to bother voting next time. We don't do revolution so if it's change you want you need patience and determination and belief that it can come, slowly, grudgingly but it will eventually if people want it and do what they can to bring it about. If it's more of the same then fair enough but you still have to vote for it.
Perhaps it's something else? Perhaps a seemingly smart, engaged guy has a really good reason for not bothering to make their opinion heard?
