Totally agree on that front Ken, last general election was the first time in my life I didn't vote Tory, that was on a matter of principle, but I DID vote, or should I say registered a vote. Your also right in saying if you don't exercise your right to vote on polling day you forfeit any say in what happens afterwards. Its always surprised me that the turnout at local election very rarely hits the 50% mark, maybe in selected wards or if as last year they are on the same day as a general election, yet talking to people in the main they always say I always vote, well there are lots of people telling porkies
