Default Thread for the UK heads

I just read an article about registering to vote, saying it helps you
to be a part of society because your vote is your voice being heard by
government. It is a way of demonstrating that you are equal and that
you do count. It is your way to get things changed. What do you think?

Yes, to an extent. The votes are incredibly biased due to the constituency system, which is why the Lib Dems are pushing for proportional representation. But to use the flaws as a reason to bouycott the system is more detrimental to voicing your system. On the other hand, abstaining from voting so as to show your distaste for the policies of each of the main parties can be a powerful tool. So basically, register to vote but don't feel required to actually vote. Not to mention that you should already be talking to your MP if you want change. He's there for you and the constituency, he should be available to talk to about issues and he should be willing to do something about things that the constituency feels strongly about regardless of the party policy. If not, vote in someone else next election because he's failing his constituency.
