So, the General Election is finally upon us. Months of build-up, three fascinating Leader’s debates, an uprising against the traditional media and some upsets along the way, and now it’s time for everybody to go put their crosses in the box.

Except turnout at this election won’t be 100%; last time around turnout was 61%, up from 59% the previous election.

Now it doesn’t matter whose name or party you put your cross next to when you get to the polling station. It probably doesn’t even matter if you just go to the polls for the purpose of spoiling your ballot. What matters is that you do go.
