Public representatives must be held to account but individuals must vote too

To the caretakers of Ireland, I am writing this for two reasons. Firstly, to ask the people to snap out of it and wake up. Secondly, to please vote so we can make our leaders accountable for the decisions they are making on our behalf.

Yes, each and every one of us are struggling to survive. Each of us has our own burden to carry. By asserting ourselves the load may be lightened. Anyone that is privileged enough to vote in the general or local elections should.

Why should you? By not voting you are not only taking your own voice away but you are joining the few that will have no impact on our political representatives who are supposed to be representing our interests.
