Well thank god for that. It would be terrible if you used the tools that democracy gives you as an individual to make a statement about how well you feel said politicians have been representing you.

I find it a bit weird that someone that lists amongst their interests "keeping upto date with the latest news" doesn't feel strongly enough one way or the other to make the effort to potentially effect change in their country.

But then I don't suppose one vote, or the votes of the hundreds of thousands, probably millions that feel the same can change anything...

That's assuming he/she is eligible to vote.

Something they said on Neighbours a few days ago ("you've gotta vote, it's democracy" or something) made me think about the Australian system, where voting is compulsory and you get a fine if you don't have a good reason for not voting. I remember at school Mr Ewan (RIP, bless his soul) used to ask us if we thought we should have that here, and I think everyone (myself included) said "yes, of course". But then, is that really democracy? Surely one of the choices you should have is to just not vote at all? In fact, shouldn't "none" be an option on the voting slip? But then what if "none" won? Would we progress towards anarchy, in the true sense of the word? Yes, quite.

But anyway, that said, people who complain about political issues but didn't bother to get off their arses to go down to the polling office on election day have no right to complain. Especially now that postal votes are so frighteningly easy to get.

Haha, it's sad that I picked up on that statement too and also pondered on it.

I'll be voting for the SNP.

Have you heard that Alex Salmond is going to donate £100 to labour for every SNP target area that Tony Blair visits - he feels that a visit from Blair will cause people to vote AGAINST labour, so the PM would be doing the SNP a favour.
