Democracy dies in Sheffield: students denied their constitutional right.
Neu! | 07.05.2010 18:15 | Sheffield
Other polling stations in other parts of the country allowed all people in the queue at 10pm into the polling station to vote. Thousands of Sheffield students have joined a group on Facebook alleging bias against students at St. Johns Ranmoor polling station. Eye witnesses have said that local residents and the elderly were put into a 'fast-track' queue while students queued for hours.

We need to be in our communities..

We need to be in our communities, as we were at Ranmoor, watching how the Lib Dems, in their power hungry lust, drove round telling students to vote with no need for them to have their polling cards, going into local pubs and offering them a lift to the polling station. No wonder there was a queue, of course the whole fucking electoral system is wrong, and as anarchists, we know it can not be reformed - it needs abolition.
But, pissed up Middle Class students not given a vote was the most joy to be had in this whole fucking sham, at least they now understand what it is to be refused a vote, as do 70,000 prisoners who also wake up having been refused the same right due to fact they're in prison.
Our grandparents did not vote for fascists, they shot them, neither did they fight to keep the privileged ruling class in power. They fought for liberty, truth, justice and freedom, now we need to do the same. Yes, we agree we are privileged to have the vote, but lets not delude ourselves Sisters, Brothers, Comrades, that the ballot box or parliament can offer us change.
The only change we need is one of anarchism, when I wake up in the glorious sunshine of anarchy (an imaginary utopia), then I shall be truly happy. Lets not moan but organise, we either take now or stay the same..
