Register to vote?? Rubbish.

I wanted to vote in the General Election on May 6th. I wanted to give the three main parties a chance. I wanted a proper look at their manifesto's, what they had planned and see whether I would benefit from any of their policies. And yes, before you start, only the three main parties. Lets face it, the rest are so far beyond standing a chance for either being a joke, a mess, or right wing. That's what I wanted this year. That, a paid job, a Volvo C30 and two front teeth. But of course, I was bound to fail, wasn't I.

The adverts are telling me to register so I don't get whiplash from a huge elastic band and some burly blokes, who by the way, have no right to chain me up to something so dangerous I could sue and get a step closer to my dream of being on TV in the shape of a mid-morning insurance claim commercial! "As for the plastic, well that's sorted".

Anyway, I go to register, which I believe to be a hurdle in the publics attempts to make changes in society. A hurdle which most people won't want to jump because the majority are apathetic and by putting things in the way just makes the whole thing a chore. I decided to suck it up and go to register. This is on deadline day by the way. I enter in all the needed information, including letting them know I have no intention of being included in the edited list. Why would anyone want to be included in a book which Marketers buy so they can receive irritating calls from a machine?! The form is completed only to find I need to print something off, sign and post! Outrageous! I don't have a printer and didn't have time to find somewhere to print it out.

Result: I can't vote. My opinion doesn't count. The people who decide on this system cannot seriously think this is OK...My opinion matters!!
