Yes, You! Vote!, Aylesford

I've been following both campaigns as regards the EU referendum and, frankly, I think we have been ill served by both sides. The exaggerations and falsehoods have demeaned both sides but what I passionately believe in is that everyone should exercise their right to vote. I happen to be anti Brexit but I respect everyone's right to hold a different opinion as long as they decide to vote on the 23rd. If you don't vote then I feel you don't have a right to complain - apathy is not the answer, particularly when it comes to the rise of the far right in European politics. Just look at the rise of Erdogan in Turkey and his venal attempt to crush any form of democratric opposition. There but the grace of God go other European countries where the mainstream view is ignored, or more importantly, decide not to vote. You could end up with a version of Donald Trump, a very dangerous idiot left to  rule through indifference, through a lack of caring enough about doing the decent thing. Please don't become too cynical, it's all so much important than that.
