If you refuse to vote at elections, slowly power will be drained from politicians that will help expose and weaken their power base and their evil puppeteers. And their lazy rich mates who live in palaces. At the very least they will get a bit miffed. Don't encourage it, don't vote. It's all a con. You don't get democracy by voting, you get it by revolution and by bombing foreign countries from 30,000 feet and by ignoring voters. Don't even talk about politics and refuse to buy magazines that have any politics in them. Try not to even think about politics, every bit nourishes and enables it to grow and thrive. Before you know it politicians will control the world!

"I am not voting in this poll for obvious reasons"
I have long said that Tory/Labour are almost identical. Until we get a Maggiesque leader we should vote Liberal/BNP/Communist/Monster Raving Looney.

Yep, there is no real choice in political parties in this country.
They are more or less a carbon copy of each other and all committed to keeping this country exactly how it is:
- surveilance state.
- career MP's with their snouts in the trough.
- taxpayer's bled dry by the banks.
- middle classes penalised with high taxes to pay for over-burdened public services due to immigration.
Nothing will change. But.....
I WILL vote, because the alternative of the BNP gaining power (just as Le Pen did well from voter apathy in France) doesnt bear thinking about.

I am totally in favour of reducing the number of voters to one - myself, naturally. I cannot imagine a better system of government than a totalitarian police state run by yours truly.
