Local Elections

[Muban]

Tomorrow is the day of local elections and I wondered how many of you are going to make sure you cast your vote?

Those of you that do: Do you bother to read up on the candidates involved and vote for specific people whose policies closest match your own? Do you fall back on a general knowledge of the party you normally support and go with them? Other reasons?

Those of you that don't: Is it because you just don't feel involved in politics or is it just something that doesn't interest you? Do you feel that none of the candidates will make any difference and you only have the choice of a lesser of many evils? Other reasons?

I'm not necessarily expecting to get that many non voters in here.... I'm not sure people who don't want to vote will care about a local elections thread. Then again it depends on their reason for not voting

From my perspective I read up on the candidates themselves and their policies. I vote because it's my opportunity to be involved, I can hardly complain about the state of the country/local area if I don't bother to participate (in my opinion!).
