AS another General Election looms closer in UK, the privilege to vote is essential as the way to exercise your choice.

Every election we hear the often used sad mundane reasons for not voting such as ,´´ít is a waste of time´´,´´politicians never stick to their party manifestos ´´, ´´it doesn´t any difference who you votes for´´ etcetera. Usually after the polls are closed and the new government are in power the biggest moaners with the loudest voices are normally the ones who never bothered to vote, there is a phrase ´´If you are not in the raffle then there is no chance of you winning.´´ So if you don´t vote then stop thinking about complaining !

Thanks to Pembrokeshire CC for getting my overseas voters ballot to me just after 13th April 2015 which has been filled in and returned with pleasure as the majority of my family still live in the UK.
