Hi All, One more sleep to go!
Whether you are keeping your longstanding pattern of voting, or making a jump, your vote is an important part of our democracy, and freedom to choose who governs us and how - so thank you!
This week, I've seen people I very much respect sharing calls to spoil ballots as a protest vote. Given what we have been going through recently, and how inadequate politician's responses have been, that's understandable.
Of course I'm here to respect your choice, but also to ask that you perhaps reconsider that position.
There is more is at stake for this election than we have had for a very long time.
With recent wins for the the far right in Europe, EVERY vote we make for a more moderate party is a kick in the shins for those who would steer us in the same way - and erode and erase many of our democratic rights in the first place. This issue goes beyond party politics, and into the very heart of the world's oldest democracy of it's kind.
So if freedom and sovereignty is your thing, please bear this in mind
There is a new requirement to take photo ID to some elections in England, Scotland and Wales.
