Where I foolishly combine politics and music

Anyone who knows me will know that I’m a very political person. As such, you can’t really expect me to not bring the topic up today. May 4 is local election day across much of the UK, with around 4,400 local council seats up for election across roughly a third of the country. If you are unsure whether or not your council is up for election, the BBC have a helpful guide.
Now it certainly isn’t my style to try and push my political beliefs onto you in any way. I’m not going to encourage you to vote for any one political party. I’d just like to encourage you to actually vote. If you want to vote Lib Dem, that’s awesome. If you want to vote Conservative, that’s ok too. Hell, if you want to vote Labour, despite some minor troubles, and can do so in good conscience, that’s your choice. Just don’t waste your opportunity. Have an opinion. Whatever it is.
MP3 Ted Leo & The Pharmacists – Criminal Piece
So, so long to all you “moderates”,
Yeah, it’s time for getting down.
Your peace and quiet is criminal,
While there’s injustice in your town.

Green party, anyone?
