Vote FIRE

[kingandy]

Legal eagles may be interested to learn of the Pretty Inferno Act of 1957.

Voting fever has not hit our office. There was some discussion of whether or not voting was compulsory, and one girl was heard to remark, "I don't really care who's ... in charge of ... whatever." I am reminded that, ill-informed and apathetic though I am, I at least care enough to go through with that cursory research and knee-jerk response.

I didn't get any voting info - was it only certain areas for this vote...?

I vote whenever I get told I can - Partly coz there were women who died to enable me to be able to vote and similarly to rob_e_coyote - so that I help to discourage the more idiotic of groups from getting anywhere near 'in'. (I also vote Green when I can!)

It was only certain areas - something like 150 councils across the country. I don't know which ones, but the BBC probably does.

Aha! Would you like to know more?

Cool! Thank you - Nope - I wasn't supposed to vote. Weirdly - if I'd already moved to Leeds, then I would have been able to! Strange how the world works...
