Raise your hands if you belong to the Apathy Party, [as Allan Petrie from I4I calls it.]

Looking at present-day voting habits, I guess quite a few have done so!

I don’t think I am quite off the mark when I say that low voting numbers suit the goverment quite well, given the barriers they have put in place.

We know that in a GE it doesn’t matter how we vote in Scotland, the results are determined by the English vote. But it says something about our kind of Democracy when even they can’t be bothered to vote.

What is the price of Apathy and how does that cost trickle down to our pockets?

Profits to the rich equate to pennies for us.

Apathy suggests indifference, and indifference opens the door to corruption.

And what better way to open the doors to corruption than by introducing unregulated Freeports?

……. MOUs just don’t cut it!

Every one of these is going to hit you in your pocket as Local Authorities struggle to meet local demands. Council Tax rises way above inflation… You are being gubbed!

Follow the money at all levels and then understand how important your vote is.

The words often spoken are, ‘but what can I do about it’?

This shows one thing, people do not believe their voice is heard let alone taken notice of. To change that perception we have to change the system. Unfortunately that means you have to vote! ….. but vote for the right change and the people willing to make that change.

LS is deeply focused on change, that is their sole purpose for existing.

But one thing they won’t do is jump on bandwagons and we have seen a few lately. They don’t re-act, they respond where and when necessary.

We have seen lately what happens when politicians are bumped into reacting…No10 being the prime example.

What doesn’t help however here in Scotland, or anywhere for that matter, is when a group you would expect support from tries to put a spoke in your wheels. How one responds to that shows effective leadership.

Liberate Scotland does all three.

In times of turbulence we need a calm hand on the wheel.

Have we got it?

If not, only your Vote can change that.
