Anyone voting in the AV referendum?

You keep on not voting and talk about the dead soldiers whenever anyone complains if that makes you happy. I'm pretty sure however that the people who originally fought and campaigned for democracy did so so that people WOULD vote.

When the politicians demand I turn up and vote for them or they will criminalise me, I too will start throwing petrol bombs.

Or at least, I would if I could afford the petrol, or the train fare to London.

When countries' soldiers die so that a country can achieve democracy, people are generally quite keen to use that new right. Exercising said right is more of a tribute to those who died than posting on CUK Don't vote if you don't want to - I agree it is and should be a choice - but bringing up the memory of the fallen soldiers as an excuse for not voting is pretty crass.

OK whatever you say. You keep on not voting and talk about the dead soldiers whenever anyone complains if that makes you happy. I'm pretty sure however that the people who originally fought and campaigned for democracy did so so that people WOULD vote.

What are you on about jellyhead? I already stated that I HAD voted. I was making the point that if someone elects NOT to vote then that is fine too. It is the option to make that choice that is sacrosanct and is what was worth giving one's life for.
Most other people can get that, but for you that seems to be an intractable concept to grasp. Yet apparently you can quite happily believe in mystical deities. Truly bizarre.
