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!
