It's very important that you vote

Even if you live somewhere where you feel your vote is a waste as it won't count.

This time there will be questions as to the legitimacy of who seeks to govern. Your party's poll in the country's popular vote really matters.

Even, nay ESPECIALLY, if you live in Scotland, in a constituency where the SNP are sprinting into the distance.

Absolutely. Tomorrow is going to be fascinating. With any luck, it'll be the start of a real push for PR. It's great to see the impact of the referendum debate and the rise in popularity of the SNP and the smaller parties. I am genuinely hoping we are going to see the installation of a new political landscape in the UK in the next few years.

I had a teacher at school when we were voting for the first time in 1997 who told us that even if we didn't feel we could vote for any of the candidates we should register our voice by spoiling the ballot paper instead. Any opinion is better than none at all and people (not just women) have died over centuries to give us the right to democracy.
