Interested or apathetic ?

I'm not asking for you to say which way you're going to vote. I'm just interested in a Hague comment this morning that he believes there are millions of people out there who haven't yet decided which way to vote. Have you ? Or do you always vote the same way, or what ?

A low turn out at the election could be disasterous. It's a duty. If you hate them all then you must go along and write "bollocks" on the ballot paper. A spoiled vote still achieves something.

If there was a way to destroy the party political system I'd be more interested in the candidates. I'm a believer in the Burkian belief of a representative democratic system not delgation.

But since this ain't gonna happen in my lifetime, and that my ultimate aim of breaking down the international capitalist corporate stranglehold on national government is not contained in any manifesto, I guess I'll close my eyes and point. So long as it doesn't land on the Conservative candidate I'd be happy.

And I agree with Softie - voting should be compulsory, as should be blood donation. Not a luxury but a civic duty.

Never voted at all. Don't give a stuff.

Feel I have to vote, my duty to the suffragettes! They should have a box to abstain.

I feel a lot of the sufragettes actually used box abstention as a means of getting their own way

I imagine ticks in the box would be no laughing matter ;-)
