The great big "I will be excercising my right not to vote" thread

I don't have any communists to vote for.

The Communist Party Of Britain run in a few places, perhaps you could become their party member for your constituency for the next election?

If your not going to vote for anyone, just go and draw a cock on your ballot paper or something, it's better than not doing it.

Especially if you are young, the parties don't aim to please us because so many of us don't vote, but if all the young people who don't vote draws a cock on their paper the vote still counts, and the big political parties will see that the younger people are actually voting and need to be targeted to try and win their vote. Help us actually be noticed.

What a load of bollocks on TV tonight, you want your head checking if you vote for any of them.

I went to a anarchist book fair this weekend to see what they were saying. They did some good talks on voting and the alternative to voting that were quite interesting. Not convinced at the moment but I'd definitely go again and there was a lot of other stuff there which was of interest.

What alternatives did they offer?

Hope it all worked out fairly for everyone. Saw a stat that for every 27,000 votes the SNP got an MP, for every 3mil votes UKIP got 1 MP.

A fair system I'm sure, all the best to those who believe in it.

I'm surprised you can even be bothered to type messages in the politics section such is your disdain for the political process.
