Will you Vote?

Politics -

It is election time once again. Signs of all sizes are showing up front lawns. In Peterborough, there are many conservative signs. Dean Del Mastro's got a guy in a black SUV hitting up every street corner and intersection hammering up a sign. There are many Betsy McGregor Liberal signs. It also seems the NDP and Dave Nickle are gaining support with more signs showing up on front lawns than in previous elections. The Green party and Michael Bell are getting more representation.

Are more people taking interest in the elections?

It seems most people don't care. Only a small percentage of those eligible vote.

Why?

B/c you don't wanna, or you don't care?...

You wish you could vote for the Prime Minister - don't like the first past the post system?

Voting makes a difference.

You, its your right to vote
