Voting in an election in your own country for your own interest is such a selfish thing isn't it?

Have a look at this>http://www.giveyourvote.org/

From their website:

It’s simple: you give your vote to someone in Afghanistan, Bangladesh or Ghana. They use it to be part of the debate on decisions that affect them by casting a real vote in the 2010 UK election.

Together we're calling for a world where people have an equal say in the decisions that affect them, no matter where they are.


Many of the issues that the UK decides on are global. The electorate is not. Give Your Vote changes that.

The key is a simple act of solidarity: if you're a UK voter you can pledge your vote to someone in Afghanistan, Bangladesh or Ghana.

You’ll get a text message on the eve of the UK election telling you how someone in Afghanistan, Bangladesh or Ghana wants to vote.

but many of these people don't see the political debates, and don't know the candidates like we do as a result.. and I wouldn't want other people, who don't even live here having a say as to how the place is run.... I see the point that it effects other countries too, but thats not only the UK that effecs others, there's the whole EU, and the US to consider, giving up our votes wont make a blind bit of difference in this...
