CONGRATULATIONS and thanks to the Standard and all its staff for giving us such in-depth background information about the election candidates, and what they are saying.

My best advice now, is if you are happy with the present government, and what they have not achieved, then fine – don’t bother to vote!

If you are unhappy with the present government and with what they are doing, then it is vitally important you do vote.

You can’t change anything by doing nothing!
