Go Vote!

by James Ogley on May 6th, 2010

Today’s the day.  You’ve heard the policies, you’ve seen the debates, you’ve read the comments.  You may even have engaged directly yourself in some way by leafleting, tweeting or discussing the election over a pint.  Today is the day to make it all count.  Today is the day to make your decision.

If you don’t vote today, the only thing you can complain about until the next election is the weather.

I don’t need to remind you why I believe you should vote Liberal Democrat – you can easily read back through my posts to see why.

The Guardian is tracking where people have voted using Twitter – here’s their #ukvote map.  If you’re on twitter, when you’ve voted, tweet #ukvote AB12 where AB12 is the first half of your postcode.

If you’re on Facebook, you’ll see a button at the top of your news feed this morning to register that you have voted.  As I type this, nearly 100,000 UK Facebook users have already voted.

The BBC have a search facility to give you all the information about your constituency – its history and candidates along wit who may be targeting that seat.

It’s going to be a long day – some of us may not make it to bed before dawn tomorrow – it’s going to be an exciting day and it’s going to be a significant day.  I just hope it is that last day that we vote under the current broken electoral system

Go vote!

    Seriously, you should exclude those political posts from planet.opensuse.org – it’s just too much.

    Yes, it’s sad when constituencies opt to leave the count until the next day. It ruins the fun slightly but it also delays the people knowing the result which somehow just seems wrong.
