Does Your Vote Really Matter?

If you live in a constituency in which one party has always been dominant, then you have to say no, your vote doesn't matter. Voting Tory in some areas of the North East is a pointless waste as it's a Labour stronghold. And the reverse is true in some wards in prosperous areas of the South. But if you're in a constituency that the pollsters think could go either way, your vote might - just might - be worth something to someone. So expect a few knocks at the door, a few kisses for babies, a few handshake opportunities. Because the politicians will be in your area trying to drum-up support. And if you shake a politician's hand, you have to vote for their party. FACT! Especially if it gets filmed on TV. So watch what you shake.
