Why not. If you don't like any candidate, spoil the vote. but don't not vote. That sort of apathy tells those in goverment you don't give a damm what they do and give them carte blanche to continue

Mad for it! Always get a little rush, like I'm part of some great and ancient machine. Weird.

I'll defend anybody's right not to vote by the way, that's a rather neat demonstration of our freedom of choice, but I personally think democracy has been too hard fought for to just shrug my shoulders and not bother.

Politicians are all ****ebags by the way, but that's a whole nother issue!

Democracy not fit for purpose Tiger? Chortle chortle.

I almost fought in the Iraq War therefore I can almost vote.

Considering the SNP are ahead I don't know anyone who will vote for them. Maybe I don't know enough people. Apart from Gran. Not my gran but my lady friends gran.

Couldn't agree more but some people get too uppity about insisting you "have" to vote. That gets my back up because if none of the polititcians have policies you believe in then you shouldn't need to vote out of neccessity and be criticised for it.

My wife's blood boils round about election time. As a (lapsed) catholic she goes on about how the priest insisted they all vote labour because the local candidates were catholics. Hmmm...I see the logic in that.

I think Tim has the right idea. I'll be voting and hoping that the @rsewipe incumbent gets kicked out.

Spoilt ballot paper shows the parties you want to be involved and want to vote, but none of them deserve your vote.
