I'm sorry to disappoint you but isn't a democratic society supposed to be built on freedom?
Freedom to speak, freedom to vote, freedom not to vote if you think they are all total toss pots?
I vote if I consider there is someone worth voting for otherwise I spoil my vote, I do this because I am allowed the freedom to choose.
I do think it important that we all make an effort.
However in a free society, even those that can't get off their arse and vote are entitled to an opinion.
