Scrolling through Social Media, I'm astounded by the abundance of 'too many politicians on here' status'. This is exactly the kind of attitude that leads to the statistics above, stating an enormous 15.9 million of us boycotted the poll stations on Voting Day.
More people becoming involved in politics is exactly what we need. Regardless of opinion or depth of knowledge, we all have the potential to have a say in our future, so why waste it? Some believe that they know so little about politics that there would be no point in voting. Whilst it is important to understand what you're voting for, it isn't essential to know the ins and outs of every outcome. You don't need to know all of the policies of every party, the individuals involved or even the details of their campaign to have a feel for a party or particular person of interest. It is the fault of our education system for not introducing such ways of thinking earlier on, but it's never too late to have a little read up on a party or even just ask around for general opinions. This post is not to persuade you to vote as I plan on voting or to influence a particular result. But please, whatever you do, do something. #GeneralElection #VDay #Vote
