Election Day!!
I just voted. Feel all breathy and nervous. Hee, adrenaline. Voting adrenaline.
Some of the campus groups have been sending emails in a last ditch attempt to swing voters. The Labour one really pissed me off. Very dismissive line about Lib Dems being a wasted vote.
LIBERAL DEMOCRATS ARE NOT A WASTE OF A VOTE
If everyone who was dissuaded from voting lib dems by that line of thought did vote, I suspect they'd be very far from a waste. Even if they didn't get in, next election people will be looking at them and saying "Well, it was so close, my vote will really make a difference". If they don't get in this tme, it doesn't mean it's a wasted vote. It means they're more likely to get in next time.
And lets face it, between Labours lies and rightwing stance, and the mess the Conservatives made last time they were in power (and the mess of the party), do you really want to vote for either? Don't vote for someone you're only half interested in.
Actually, just VOTE. That's really the most important part.
