Political nonsense

It is that time of year again when people have to come out of their houses and attend their local community centre, school or any public space with a roof, to take part in the elections.
Every year in Britain, we hold elections for local councils to see who will take hold of the neighbourhood we live in. Every couple of years a general election will happen where us Brits will have to vote for who we want to run the country. What a hassle. I am only 20 and been voting now for 3 years: I am already fed up of it. This year was probably the worst as we had the AV thing to vote for on top of the local election. I dont have a problem with this, but the honest truth is, I had no idea what I was to do regarding the AV vote. Should I of voted Yes or voted No? Luckily, I came to a decision and sorta glad I stuck to it. Not saying what I voted.

But yes, this all happened yesterday, and today the results came out. My local elections turned out well. Labour took hold of my neighbourhood (happy parents) and also the old neighbourhood I used to live in too. A few hours ago, they also announced the results on national news what the AV vote was. The winner was NO. Many happy people and many upset people. Oh well deal with it. That is what I say.

Now I am not a very political person, but I sorta have to be with the way I was brought up. My dad has had an interest in the news and politics since a young boy, so my nan tells me, and he has tried to rub it onto my younger brother and I. This hasn't worked at all. But anyway, it has sort of made me understand this all a lot more than the majority of my friends. Some are clueless as to why we even have to vote. One even said "Are women even allowed to cast a vote?" I questioned her as to what era she think we were living in. Clueless friends I have. But I did explain to her that we have been able to vote for a long time now. Don't ask me how long as that is where I get lost.

To end this, I am just going to say...Are your countries in election mode? If so, are you going to vote? If not, why?
