    It's an important distinction. By not vote 'they' don't know if you've forgotten to vote, can't be arsed to vote or hate them.

    Doing this shows them that you're prepared to get off yer bum and still not vote.

    A critical difference, I think...

      Imagine what would happen if on the ballot paper you got to put a + or a - against each name where the minuses are subtracted from the plusses. Now that would make voting worthwhile.

      "Mr Thieving Robdog, Labour, minus 10,000 votes.
      Miss Uppity No-Life-Experience-Bootface, Conservative, minus 8,000 votes.
      Mrs Purity White, BNP, minus 32,000 votes.
      Mr Timothy Simkins, Boy Scout Leaders for Lets Just Be Nice To One Another And Tell The Truth Party, 3 votes.
      I hereby announce Mr Timothy Simkins the MP for the constituency of Royston Vasey."

        Yes!

        Send your suggestion to Jeremy Vine - they might put you on the radio!

          Jeremy Vine?

          Just how sad do you think I am?

          Even when I was benched I couldn't bring myself to listen to Jeremy Whine. He's the Daily Mail, personified.

            Do you really want an honest CUK answer to that?

            I agree - although Sarah Kennedy is known as "Sarah Daily Mail" in our house.
            If you have to add a , it isn't funny. HTH. LOL.

              She's "Vinegar tits" to us.

              We have Planet Rock on until Terry^H^H^H^H^H Chris Evans comes on. The Missus has a pathological hatred of that smug "I'm off to the races in the Royal Box to watch my jockey boyfriend race so I get in for free but te champagne's OK I suppose, then I'm signing my book at Scroggitt's Bookshop in Smugtown at 11:00 to 12:00 then going to my friend Jacques' 5 star restaurant for lunch with some celebrity chums then to the blah, blah, me, me, me, me, me" cow.
