Make Your Vote Count At The NSW Election - Especially Mount Druitt & Lobonderry State Seats!

When elections are nearer there are a lot of scare campaigns and then 'protective campaigns'. That is just political life. The community is swayed by comments raised by major political parties and then they provide their own facts and figures, to present a great image of party.

As we live in a democratic society, we individually have a democratic right to cast a vote to your preferred candidate primarily. Informal votes can be leaving no indication of of your important vote, making comments without voting  on all placing number one on all candidates boxes ballot paper. They are waisted votes.

There is that typical phrase, 'My vote won't count as it is a safe seat!' Incorrect, in my books, 'A seat is never safe until it is won!' 

There are a lot of variables that can make a safe seat change hand: new people moving into the area, people moved out, young voting for the first time, a predominate Member of government member retires, there personal vote only loss when he or she retires and won't for that party, the new candidate may not be able to be acceptable to replace the former strong member because of the 'unknown factor' - same with other candidate.

Personally, I would like to see that once a candidate is elected, a Shadow Member from the next best candidate, stands up to and with the elected member for the next 4 years, keep them on their toes!

1 vote does count, each vote counts and remember you could be proud of electing a candidate you voted for, who is the member for your seat!
