It has been at least 6 months since I last sat down and wrote a blog, there is no reason for this apart from the fact I could never really find a rhythm with it, now however that this is my place on the internet where I can write what I feel like.
So this year there will be a general election which for me is a very interesting thing, I have discovered an in depth interest in politics over the past year and with this interest I have started to become more involved in politics. However this is where I come to my main issue, I seem to be one of the only people in my group of friends and indeed close family. Young and old who are taking an interest in politics. At such a defining time in this countries history surely people can see that they need to let go of the prejudice they hold against politicians and their sometimes back dated approach to life. Which is true the democratic government we are governed by is back dated but so are my grandparents and they still make some valid points.
I have listened to people like Russell Brand instructing people not to vote. I'm not sure if he's read Lord of The Flies or Animal Farm but a society without a firm government does not work. Whilst I agree certain changes should be made I don't think it needs to be started again, the Unitied Kingdom is an island that has thousands of years of history, that has taught a million different lessons.
Anyway back to 2015, I think it's vital that people vote. Parties shouldn't be campaigning for certain groups of people to vote, they should be calling for GROUPS OF PEOPLE to vote.
So if you take anything from a moaning 19 year old going on 50 then please please confided voting and voting for the right reasons.
Thanks for reading :)
