Vote
We wonder how many of our fellow eligible constituents will vote this time around.
Historically many people have died trying to get the right to vote. There are still countries in the grip of dictatorships where people are sacrificing their lives this present moment to have the simple right to vote and choose their government.
I could go on and on about this … and the reason I do is because I feel a bit guilty if I don't vote. But to be 100% honest I'm not sure if I will (wracked with guilt).
I grew up with a Thatcher government and saw what they did to my country - I was in the riots. I saw the lives devastated by unemployment. I saw death…( its funny how people forget)
On the other hand how much has the labour government done for us, for Swansea and most of all for art and music in Swansea? There is still no central arts centre that is truly inclusive - although we do have the Olympics wopeee! Musicians are still struggling, artists are still fighting. People are still rich and people are still poor…
There's a whole list of promises that haven't been fulfilled but I don't trust any party to sort it out to be honest.
I do believe that people are becoming wiser and one day things will change and we will change how the country and the world is run - yes idealism. But you've got to haven't you…
"Vote for change" its not really is it?
