[Margaret Pilkington]

Well, I am one of those who didn't vote(I did go to the polling station, and I spoiled my paper because I could not, in all conscience, vote for any of the shower of doo-doo who were up for election)
I am of the opinion that if voting changed anything they would have stopped us doing it years ago.
The chance to vote is just to let us think we have some kind of say in what happens to the country(a referendum on the EU has been promised by political parties in the past - it hasn't happened)......and it is fine in principle, but in reality, the politicians can promise us anything to get elected, but they do what they damn well want once they are incumbent.

That is why there is apathy and disenchantment, no-one trusts what politicians say.........I think that offering money at the polling booth would be the wrong thing to do.
