I know how fed up people can be with the way the world of politics seems to operate. All too often it can seem like political parties are speaking a different language. But the decisions that politicians take effect everybody –whether those decisions are taken in Government or the Council. So it is important that everybody is able to their say.
Unless you register to vote, you lose your voice on issues that directly affect you, your family and your friends.
Elections are one way you can have that voice. At the next one on May 7 there is a big choice. There is a choice between a Government who looks out for a few, raising VAT and living costs whilst giving a tax cut to millionaires, or a Labour Government, committed to raising the minimum wage, investing in the NHS, reforming the energy markets and private rented housing sector and building 200,000 homes a year.
