I am getting more politically active recently and I truly believe this country would be a lot different if voter turnout got into the 80's. I have this idea to try and start a local get and vote campaign going. I think that it would be cool to try and talk businesses to have employee meetings where they'll allow a short talk on the importance of voting and then helping them register to vote. Why the fuck do we vote on tuesdays too?
We vote on Thursdays. Poor people do vote but our area has been so gerrymandered that their votes do not count. Poor Gosport is suddenly lumped in with rich Stubbington and Hill head which are both obviously a part of even richer Fareham. So instead of getting one tory and one labour they end up with two tories.
