To ask if you will actually vote?

Not asking who you're voting for, but are you actually going to make the effort of voting (by going to the polling station on the day or postal vote)?

Am on the app so voting options don't seem to be available.

Wouldn't occur to me not to vote ('lesser' elections though, I have missed occasionally, but a General? Wouldn't miss it).

Yes. Such is my rage at what they've done. Also voting by proxy for dd who won't be here.

If you disengage and don't vote in a crisis like this, I think it's bordering on irresponsible. People have to take responsibility for their own opinions and hold these bastards to account.

Since I was 18 in 1985 I have voted in every parish, local, county, general, European election. It would never cross my mind not to vote.

is it really that much of an effort?!

PonyPatter44 · 06/06/2024 21:34

Of course I will. So will my partner and my DD. Gotta get these corrupt idiots out of office!

Maireas · 06/06/2024 21:34

Yes, every single election since the very first one I was entitled to, in 1979.
Local, general and referendum. Never missed one.

HandsDown84 · 06/06/2024 21:33

Of course. Never miss a vote.

BingoMarieHeeler · 06/06/2024 21:33

Yep

AnneLovesGilbert · 06/06/2024 21:33

Of course.

DanceTheDevilBackIntoHisHole · 06/06/2024 21:32

Yep. Always. Never not voted in any election or referendum since I turned 18.

SilverSimca · 06/06/2024 21:32

Of course I will

FrogandTrumpet · 06/06/2024 21:32

Yes, I have done at every election since I’ve been eligible to vote. Why wouldn’t I?

HeadNorth · 06/06/2024 21:32

Of course. I will be on holiday (like much of Scotland) so have registered for a postal vote.
