Calling All UK People

For goodness sake - don't forget to vote!

With the undoubtably incredibly low turnout, and the EU elections being largely Proportional Representation, your vote can count - get out there today and stand up for something you believe in!

The thing here is that a very small percentage of the population wants to do hideous things.

And most of the nice ones think that it's not worth voting.

I can't control what everyone else does, but if I sit on my ass then I'm certainly not helping. If I and everyone like me gets out there, then we can make a difference. Especially with proportional representation, where a small number of votes can make the difference between no representatives for my party and one.

Each of the nice ones is correct that it's not worth voting, for him or her qua individual voter. Once you get voters in the thousands, sure, it's worth voting, for the group, but still not for each individual in the group.

Given that, I think bullying all your nice friends to vote is a good tactic (I use "bullying" non-pejoratively!).
