EDUCATION FOR CITIZENSHIP


My attitude concerning people who are not voting is normal. It's a choice make by that individual. There is a letter head on The Borough Council of Wellingborough web site which states, 'Have your say on election day'. Why wait on election day to give upstanding, tax paying citizens a say? Middle and upper class citizens votes are likely to be more of value, considering they are tuned into whats going on in to days society. Where as the working and under working class are people who are on benefits only need to know their rent has been paid and weekly income is still coming in. The attention grabber for them to vote would be,'' All Benefits Would Cease if Labour or Conservative Wins the Next General Election''.

I think not knowing much about my local MP and having to read about him on the internet may influence my vote. Maybe I need to get more involved in whats going on in my community on a wider scale to know what main concerns I have that may influence my vote...
