      To
      tell
      you
      the
      truth,
      I
      have
      never
      before
     
     
      voted
      myself,
      so
      this
      article
      is
      helping
      me
      as
     
     
      well
      (Don’t
      worry,
      I
      didn’t
      make
      any
      of
      this
      up).
     
     
      Just
      a
      little
      advice:
      if
      you
      don’t
      vote
      because
     
     
      you
      think
      your
      vote
      won’t
      make
      any
      difference,
     
     
      you
      will
      have
      no
      right
      to
      dump
      on
      the
      new
      P.M.
     
     
      because
      you
      will
      have
      had
      the
      chance
      to
      vote
      on
     
     
      who
      you
      believed
      was
      best
      for
      the
      job.
      So
      vote
     
     
      now
      and
      complain
      later.
      Do
      something
