We had a longstanding friends, a couple to stay for a few days during the recent local elections, my lovely female friend made a great deal of saying that they always voted, never missed, and yet every time politics came up, she shut the discussion down by saying you can't change anything- there is no point discussing it. (unlike her hubby who had quite intense discussions with my DH when us ladies were not around). I got to reflecting on how difficult is to get impartial information on the EU referendum, one day some powerful individual or organisation says in/out then someone of equal status states the opposite, both giving evidence and statistics to back up their views. I then wondered how many people are like my friend, proud of their unbroken voting record, but actually do not look for information, do not read or discuss political issues or choices but just vote presumably for the party they have always voted for. That saddened me, and I wondered just how many of the electorate are voting based on family or personal tradition, and if that has changed over the generations.
What were the first ever records that you bought and when?
