I've just had my local Conservative Rep at my door!!!!

I always vote no matter how small the issue. I think it is your right to vote or not to vote. However, if you do not vote, then you shouldnt complain about your representation!

i'll definitely vote but it will certainly not be for either labour or the tories.

Can't comment much on what's happening in the UK but I'd urge you to vote because it's the ultimate poll in both of our countries. I just don't hold with throwing a vote away and I find personally that I always prefer one candidate when I really look at the issues. As for those bothersome people who come to the door, we get plenty of them here also. We have one very good congressman who visits every home in his district once a year and we like him as does everybody else. Unfortunately, he was a dark horse candidate when he first won office over 15 years ago. After his surprise victory and growth in popularity over the years, they all started campaigning door to door during elections and re-elections. Mostly they are a real nuisance and we don't see them at all until it's re-election time so we just have to lay low in the weeks leading up to elections.

A lot of people say they hate the whole "door to door" canvasing..but statics shows it works. People are more likely to vote for someone they have actually met and gotten to talk to.

I'm not from the UK, but if I were, I'd be voting. I might not know who I was going to vote for until I actually got to the voting booth, but I'd vote. It's the only voice you really have in government, so why not use it?
