[Margaret Pilkington]

I have been saying don't vote for people that you can't believe in. I have been saying it forever!

And if they made voting a legal requirement, and we didn't do it would they jail the whole population?
Voting doesn't work...or no, voting puts people in power who have agendas other than the one in the manifesto...and that is the problem. We have politicians who have done no real work in their lives, they know nothing of the problems which beset their constituents, and what is more...while they are riding a rich gravy train, paid for by us, they will never know and care even less.

You will never get people in this country to with-hold their vote...there are too many people who are bound by the tradition of voting for the colour of a flag....even though there is so little difference between the parties now...the ideologies of the major parties are not what they were 20, 30, 40, years ago, but you try getting hidebound folk like C'monstanley to see this...you will be wasting your time.
