People fought hard for the right to vote - not just women. Yes, your vote can make a difference. Apathy is going no where, and don't forget: They say people in democracies get the government they deserve. So don't just moan if you're not happy, next time vote!

Yes, it is important to vote. I get fed up with people who moan about the government but cannot be bothered to turn out and vote. There are still countries in the world where people would love to have the chance to choose who rules them.
I think we can ignore the male chauvinists - I really thought they were an extinct species.
The thing I hear most of, and also agree with, is that there is not much to chose between the various parties (at least in Westminster). I think they are all in it to feather their own nest.
Nevertheless, I will continue to vote as long as my legs can carry me to the polling station.

Voting is very important but alot of people have lost interest i think the media is partially to blame and maybe even the parties themselves since they don't want us to be interested or pay attention to what they are doing but if we want the UK to get any better we should start to pay some attention and vote and not just for conservative and Labour they aren't the only parties their is everyone in the country who can vote voted you could quite easily get in another party. Also i'm glad there are some women out their that regonise the diffrence in pay and jobs and child care e.c.t!

Felicity even if you vote what difference does it make /there is no opposition to this present government and the unions have £40m to back the labour at voting time which will be very soon so it would seem to me to vote is a waste of my time /Labour seems set to take all the money you have during another session of misery and no way to tackle this disrupted country and no way to bring our men back from the east to save the slaughter you cant beat suicide bombers//when will the government learn

if voting changed anything it would be abolished.i heard they're going to make voting compulsory.is this because more and more people aren't voting.what happens when more people don't vote than do. is this a vote of no confidence for the system and the people running it. maybe if we want a change we shouldn't vote.

One vote just brings in a new dictator - anyone even get the chance to vote brown for PM?
I have been in many countries with dictators and no discernable democracy, and I'm seeing less and less difference between Britain and them as the years go by.
I vote against, not for.

Not only women, but there were 2 world wars fought for our freedoms.
There were many lives (men and women) lost in the fight for the right to vote in democratic countries.
If we do not do research on who is running and why they are running for office, we are disgracing everyone (men and women) who gave their life for these rights.
If we do not vote, we are disgracing everyone (men and women) who gave their life for these rights.
Remember, if everyone who wishes to vote for the candidate that you would vote for stays home and does not vote; one of the other candidates will definitely get elected.
Do your own Honest, unbiased, open minded research
on the candidates and parties running.
Get informed and make up your own mind.

I agree with you. All over the world people are STILL dying for the right to vote. If there is no-one to vote for, then people should spoil their ballots and be counted.

I didn't ask for a bunch of women to die to get there little voices heard. In fact I could care less about anyone who would die for the chance to vote. I guess all those people died in vain because now, no one has the guts to stand up to the government. You re all too busy complaining about it on this crappy forum

Women are still undervalued, underpaid and treated like 2nd class citizens ( e.g Leonard and his pathetic sexist comment). The right to vote does however mean you have a right to use it or not.
