🗳️ Why voting matters
Democracy only works when people take part.
If you don’t vote:
decisions are made without you
priorities are set by others
nothing changes
If you do vote:
you shape your city
you influence real decisions
you make the system more representative
Your voice only counts if it is used.
Your vote is your voice! Vote in the local elections in Oxford City on May 7th 2026
🕰️ People fought—and died—for this right
In 1819, at the Peterloo Massacre, people were killed for demanding the vote.
The Chartists were jailed for calling for fair elections.
The suffragettes endured prison and hunger strikes so women could vote.
This wasn’t given.
It was won.
What cost them everything costs you five minutes.
The fight for equal voice
From Mary Wollstonecraft to modern thinkers, one idea remains:
Voting is not a privilege. It is a human right.
Not voting doesn’t send a message.
It hands power to those already in control.
📊 Votes are closer than you think
Elections are often decided by tiny margins.
In the last General Election, I was just 8 votes short of reaching my target of getting back the Green Party deposit.
Eight votes.
That’s one household. One street.
Your vote is never “just one vote.”
