Why won’t you be participating in the forthcoming Elections for the New Scottish Parliament?
‘I don’t see my vote as making any major contribution. I’m talking about my own individual vote. If I don’t vote it’s not going to make very much of a difference, the way I see it... I don’t believe in the parties and what they stand for – the majority, anyway.’
Scott – JSH

‘I never got a polling card... I would vote, but I don’t get a polling card so I can’t vote.’
Tony – CCI

‘They don’t even know we’re alive, so what’s the sense.’
Claire – LTS

‘I’m not really interested.’
Maggie – JSH

‘I can’t, I’m not Scottish... no–one’ll vote because there’s too many taxes for you...’
Dave – CCI

‘Because I don’t think the Government does anything for us, they all do it for themselves. They don’t listen to any individual’s needs.’
Nisha – LTS

‘Because my vote won’t make any difference, because I think it’s all down to electricity, do you know what I mean? My vote won’t make any difference because life is full of electricity.’
Alec – CCI

‘I don’t think we’re allowed to in here.’
Euan – PYOI
