The Vote

I’ve been on the losing side of more votes than you could shake a shitty stick at and I’ve sworn and cried and cursed the rest of the electorate as the fools they undoubtedly are.

But.

It has never occurred to me not to vote.

Not voting is not a protest. It’s effing well giving in.

And the next person who tells me their vote doesn’t count is in for a walking stick right up the back passage.

Voting is both a privilege and a duty. People died so you could vote.

And if you don’t vote, don’t fu**ing complain…
