Your vote counts - but you can't vote if you're not registered!
Get out there and register.... have a say in who represents you in the next elections!

You're so much nicer than I am. I tend to just say "If you don't vote then keep your damn mouth shut" and let it go at that. Actual statistics would probably be helpful.
