Put Belfast on the Board
Monopoly are producing a new "Here and Now UK edition" (as well as a "Here and Now Ireland edition, mentioned on Slugger) and are running an online referendum to determine which towns and cities should feature on the board. Belfast's lagging well behind in the voting stakes (56th at the time of writing, up from 57th yesterday) and the other NI cities are nowhere to be seen.
With only 22 spaces on the board it'll be an uphill struggle; luckily you can vote every day. So go for it - Vote Belfast!

Actually looking at the list of cities that are (and aren't) on the board at the minute it seems Belfast might be out of place - at the moment Edinburgh and Manchester are both off the board for example, while locations that are currently on the board include "Ashton Gate" and "Burgess Hill". Yeah, that's what I thought too!
I've said it before and I'll say it again: democracy doesn't work!
Tell your friends; as the old saying goes "Vote early and vote often."
