Set the date for General, Local, EU… elections as Thanksgiving
We, the undersigned, petition the Prime Minister to Set the date for General, Local, EU… elections as Thanksgiving
Moving every election to Thanksgiving [November] addresses the problem of non-voters ‘corrupting’ the electoral-process; handover January 1st following year
Summer-elections coincide with study, exams & vacations; contributing to first-past-the-post receiving [typically] 20% of the electorate
Winter-elections coincide with the mearest hint of a snowflake, cold & darkness
Spring too is marked by the cold, darkness & snow
Autumn being the ‘best’ season, Thanksgiving embraces USA-link, clearly the best date in the year; ditto fixed 4-year terms
