Of course it is perfectly possible to find out who anyone voted for. Graham may say it would take a lot of effort, but the fact remains that it is possible. So what price a secret ballot? I agree with Willow, it's not the fact that they can, it's that they say they can't!

I would never not vote. Women fought, suffered, and died for the right for me to vote, and I do not believe I can deny their sacrifice. Sanctimonious perhaps, but there it is.

Anyway, if you don't vote, you've no right to moan about what you get!
