To all the Brits - REGISTER TO VOTE! [Also: Off to Turkey!]
8 years ago
Oooh! What's new today? I'm hoping to make this short, sharp and simple!
Today is the last day to register to vote here in the UK for the general election next month. If you live here and you're 18 or over, and you haven't registered yet, I ask that you do one simple thing today - just watch this video:

Voting is important, far more important than you probably think. More people didn't vote in the last election than voted for the winning party - essentially not voting was the most popular single choice. And in an age where the current party in power wants to bring government regulation into the internet, including restricting access to pornography, this is a vote which very much DOES concern you. (By the way - this is merely one part of the manifesto from one party. Please research all the parties in your area before deciding! Don't just take the word of someone who's currently drawing penises for a living!)
And if you really hate everyone? I'll reiterate what was said in that video earlier...
It is your DEMOCRATIC RIGHT to walk into that polling station, take you paper, and draw the biggest cock and balls on the entire piece of paper you can. That's still counted as a vote ('Spoiling your ballot paper', in fact), and is more important than just not voting, because instead of showing you're too lazy, it shows that no-one is good enough.
So come on, UK! Register to vote, draw an X (or a giant dog cock) on your ballot paper, and let's keep democracy alive :3
PS: I'm off to Turkey for a week! Gonna be relaxing with the glorious company of
Wrincewind,
Six~~ and
ArcaneReno. Have a lovely time here, and take care, the lot o' ya!

as for the UK voted...meh i moved out of the UK a month ago so =P
I wanna be able to draw a big 'You aren't good enough for me' on my ballot!
I hope you come back unharmed.
And in the meantime - rest assured in the knowledge that your country is beautiful, and the locals are all so friendly. A lovely place I hope to continue going to in the future :3
You lucky canine.
Well, have fun! I shall remain trapped here in the not-so-good country
Also, why Turkey?
Have fun!
