Our chance to vote this Thursday/tomorrow, and to make our thoughts on the political situation in Hastings and Great Britain known to the political establishments. In Hastings, half of the Hastings Borough Councillor seats are up for grabs, that is one of the two seats in every ward, 16 wards (website).
Many people fought hard to give us the right to vote, and it was only a little over 100 years ago when men aged 21 and over could vote, and women aged 30 and over, with the 1918 Representation of the People Act. And not until 1928, less than 100 years ago, before universal suffrage, when women aged 21 and over joined men in being able to vote, with the Equal Franchise Act. It would be a shame to let down the pioneers...
Put your X in the box you chose, or spoil your paper if that's your preference.
