I voted yes to AV and Labour.

Cant vote for a couple of months yet but would have voted Yes I think. I dont want AV, but it's slightly better than FPTP I've decided, and without a Yes here we'll never get PR

[joeysteele]

I voted at 8am this morning, a very firm NO to the AV question.

I also voted for the candidate best placed to beat the Lib Dem one as to the Local election.

[Judas]

Yes I have.

I voted Yes in the Referndum and Green, Lib and Lab in the council elections - however, this was only as they were students who are there to mainly represent student interests.

you're willing to risk the entire future of democratic voting on the basis of one current politician? Well, okay.

[MTVN]

How come there's local elections in some places and not others? There arent any here

[Shaun]

there isn't really a national term time for local councils I don't think

[Marsh.]

I threw my postal vote in the bin. They're all lying bastards so I can't have a hand in electing one of them.

[Kerry]

Didn't vote

I am the first to admit that my voting today was in a good part of a petty nature and a bit of revenge.

However, I will vote how I please and also I got my first vote last year at the General Election, as a Student I was bombarded by Clegg and the Lib Dem party machine promising me this, that and all else for my vote.
I trusted them on the things I believed in and in the policies that they promised they would uphold and assured me they could not and would not support otherwise in Parliament,with them never saying once, but if we have to join a coalition we will not be able to keep these promises.

I believe they got my trust and my vote falsely, I did today what most people do in elections when they get the chance to kick the party who they feel has let them down.

That actually ''is'' democracy and what it is in action, that in elections, we the voters get the chance to pass judgement on what the people we voted for before have done with our votes, trust and the power they got from them.

Far from risking demcratic voting,I have with my vote today more likely helped preserve it.
However, I will use my votes as I wish, how I wish and if I don't wish to help a party that kicked me in the teeth for my trust in them I will never have any qualms as to returning that treatment to them when I get the chance to in elections of any kind.
