Please vote today

Today is the British General Election. I exhort every citizen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to exercise their right to vote today. Even if you think there is no point because you live in a safe constituency, you should cast your vote. Do not stay home, do not spoil your ballot. Vote. Make your opinion known. Many people sacrified a great deal over many years in the struggle for universal suffrage. They fought long and hard for you, so that you and everyone else in this country has the right to vote for your government. Universal suffrage was not established until 1928 – only 82 years ago. You have a responsibility to vote. Please make sure that you do today.
