I've just moved house and to make sure I can vote in the elections, I've had to complete an electoral registration form.  It got me wondering, do many people not even care that they have a vote?  There are people who say that it doesn't make a difference if they vote or not, but is that a valid statement?  Anyway, I believe that an ad on Facebook is going to be asking all UK users if they're registered to vote and if not they'll be directing them to www.aboutmyvote.co.uk. 

Question is, do most people actually care?

I have no interest in politics, and am pretty clueless on the subject.  I have never voted and am unlikely to this time.

I don't mind people moaning about politicians and politics, but if they fail to use their vote and still moan, their opinion is invalid imo.

Cheesy

It would be if you had to listen to the different arguments from the parties, then go down to the polling station and make your vote.  But even lazy sods who can't be arsed voting, or don't want to vote, can still click an option on a forum poll.

Proberly..

I am voting, have been delivering leaflets, canvassing and have 2 posters going up in the garden supporting one of the candidates. We are a marginal seat and every vote counts.

I love election time.

Hmmm I know you pretty well from this forum, and would have no clue which side you supported strongly enough to get so involved.

If I had to bet, I would just go for Lib Dem, followed closely by Tory with Labour bringing up the rear.

Doubt you are UKIP or Green.

Really?  I'd go for Tory.

Might be very wrong though.

Also true, and yet I hope the intelligence of the members of blonde can interpret the difference between the two for the purposes of this poll.
