It is the Mid Term elections tomorrow. One thing that I have been surprised by is the bias of several US shows. I have always known that Faux News is biased, but to see examples of this on US shows was surprising. I have seen shows in the UK that look at political matters such as The Last Leg, and while they speak out against issues like disability cuts, they never told viewers who to vote for.
I admire Taylor Swift for speaking out about what she cares for coming up to the elections, I do think that she should have encouraged all voters to register and to vote.
What is sad to see here in the UK is how many people have not realised the power of voting. And a really sad issue relates to how many people have given up their voice in the Labour Party, leaving due to the direction that it has taken, now having no vote to change things.
To vote is to have a voice. That voice should be treasured.
