Mailchimp Survey

We’re curious!
In the recent local elections voter turnout in one ward in Eastleigh was as low as 23%. That means a whopping 8 in 10 people didn’t vote! If people think politics needs to change, then we believe more people need to get involved to make that change happen.
If people don’t vote - its a sure fire way to keep things exactly the same as they always were.
We’re curious how you think things can be improved.
