If you know anyone who is planning on not voting because ‘it won’t make a difference’, explain to them how public funds are allocated to opposition parties (so-called Short money). £42.82 for every 200 votes gained by the party. More than 20p per vote. Per year. Every vote counts!

Edit: Don’t just favourite this, boost it. People need to know!

@alstonvicar @KimSJ it was a major way when UKIP did get an MP, and he returned a huge chunk of short money and MP money as it was too much for one MP to need, and farage went spare that it didn't go into his pocket.

@Thebratdragon @alstonvicar I’d not heard that story before, for some reason. Very amusing!

@KimSJ @Thebratdragon @alstonvicar I'll bet that's why Reform are a limited company, so that doesn't happen again. I wonder if their MPs will be employees, contractors, or shareholders?
