# So why didn't you stand?
A vote is a privilege we are lucky enough to have in this country, but that does promote a propensity to say 'I voted' and use that as an example of (practically passive) engagement in the political process. Which it is (an engagement that is), but if you want a Green or MRLP candidate in your constituency and there isn't one, then get in touch with them and offer to stand. Instead of whining that it's so unfair that the policies you support aren't represented, represent them.

I still haven't made my mind up about AV though. It feels fair, but it also feels like nothing would get done with it in place. Maybe I'll have made up my mind by the time the referendum comes around.

Oh.

I've been listening to Ghost Town tonight.
