Voting Apathy!!!

[puddicat]

Well went to vote today before i started work, and was really saddened about the lack of young ones voting, i know some would have been at work or school uni and alike,but there was alot of older people and the sweetest old lady who came alone walking with sticks to vote, she wasnt sure what section to go to, but she was there must of been 80+ made me feel very humble!!!!

TBH -even tho it was Glenrothes -a wee bit from me -it barely made the news.

Its bleeding pathetic -i agree -we need to start from scratch and get the kids interested in 'politics' -not just when they can wave their voting card at 18. They need to be made aware as and when they can assimliate it.

BTW -hope SNP get in -that was cheeky but coudnt help it lol

Well Bernards on -and he is saying its one of the highest turnout for years in Scotland.54% -pretty poor you would think but hey looks like the SNP are gonna bag it -wa haaay !!!

Here did i tell you i was at a wedding in Cuba with Bernard Ponsonby -photie on the wall the lot -how sad-naw he was brilliant craic -what you see isnt what you get there lol.

I'm watching the BBC News channel and they seem to be thinking it's heading Labour's way sadly.

ahh -im on Grampian/ITV -think it may be close then -Gordon Brown is the neighbouring constinuency so i dont know if thats a good thing or not.He does have a loyal following in Fife -thats for sure.

SNP -won Glasgow East -a Labour stronghold for decades- recently -so it looks like the result could be a benchmark for the Government in general.

[puddicat]

They seem to think that scottish people will also vote for them because of the scottish, you should know us we dont suffer fools gladly!!!
