Unfortunately not. We have a 98% chance of having a Tory MP. We have been tory for over 100 years and our current MP is starting to make a name for himself in the wider UK (he has been on national TV quite a bit recently)
It kind of makes me wonder what the point is for me. However, I will vote.
Firstly, people died to give me the right to vote so I will use it.
Secondly, So it may be very very unlikely that my MP wont keep his seat, but I should make it known that there are some of us who want to vote elsewhere (not that you can tell by all the Tory signs all over the place) and maybe next election it wont be as high as 98% chance.
Lastly, the most important reason of all is my children. Assuming that we wont have another GE for 5 years, one of them will be voting themselves, the others not quite (unless they do lower the voting age then DC2 might be able to), but by doing it and talking to my children about it, then they will grow up more likely with the intention of voting. My parents never really talked to me about it and between 1997 and 2010 I didn't vote at all. It's only by being with DH and him being into politics has got me interest in it (only at voting times though)
