[Margaret Pilkington]

Voting changes nothing....if it did they would stop us from doing it.
It is interesting to note that in the last couple of decades the goverment has not been the choice of the majority of people in this country.....and the only way you could get a true representation of a majority would be to have proportional representation.
Each new party which comes on the scene dilutes the chances of a government selected by a majority of the electorate.

Making it illegal not to vote would not be a step forward as there is always the possibility of spoiling your ballot paper.
I think that the current political system is bankrupt....and the electorate are increasingly disillusioned with not just politicians, but politics in general.
