Have you voted today? [EU elections]

’Mon, all of you. Get out and cast your vote today (if you haven’t already).

Every vote is important. If you don’t endorse any of the candidates, then go and deface the ballot paper. A deliberate ‘no vote’ counts for something, being a slacker and not bothering doesn’t.

And your vote will go that bit further given that the Euro Parliament uses a proportional representation system. Even if your choice doesn't come first there's still a chance they'll get elected.

The trip to Motherwell to deface a ballot or vote Green really isn't worth it.

I never remember these things as all my mail still goes to my maws house.

Pure pish.

Surely a 'No Vote' only counts towards the stats and statistics so they can say on the news that "XYZ% registered no vote", which in essence is a pile of wank. Absolute no purpose except to further feed the bourgeois medias statistics.

Don't give in to the the bastards, they waste your valuble time and money enough as it is. Do not waste 1 millisecond of your day on them.

Vote for Fuck all
