whats the point in complaining, which ever of the morons win will fuck up this already fucked up country."If you don't vote, then so far as we are concerned, you have no right to complain about any future government. Vote for a marginal, but at least vote .. | |||

"i will not vote cos i belive it like xfactor, u all put in who u want to win, but at the end of the day who THEY want to lead will lead, and ur vote actually means nothing anyone. but they need to be 'showing' the people made the choice. your all being fed lies and crap." well that would be illegal, your vote does count and could make the difference. | |||

"If you don't want to vote because it wont change anything, then thats the reason to vote tactically. Pick a minor party to get the total vote up, and show that the majors really do have a minority of the people behind them. A vote is important, and has not been this important in a very long time. Please vote. " if i dont wanna vote cos i belive my vote will not be counted as i think its all fake then why would voting for a small group change anything when i think they have already picked who is next to fuck us all up the arse? | |||

That cant happen, as if someone was to try it, the others would turn on then so fast you could hardly blink, as they would benefit the most. 
Your vote adds weight, yes a very small amount I know, but its in the balance that will move against the majors, that counts if you want that. | |||

"a lot of people fought and died to give us the right to vote - so don't waste yours!" Totally agree and the sooner its made compulsory the better The people that cannot decide who ta vote for are then still allowed ta spoil their paper but at least that in itself is a vote of no confidence in the system xx | |||
"Not voting can be construed of acceptance of the encumbent government, in which case the share of electorate support is their % of actual votes cast plus the remaining % of those that didn't vote. If you think Labour is doing a good job, no need to vote. Simples. "Sorry but your argument does not stack up as they are also not voting for your Conservatives either. It just means that whoever gets in does it on a smaller vote count. You cant have it both ways Wishy. | |||

I would favour a system that monitors who votes and removes the facility to vote for the next election for all those that don't bother this time, unless they specifically ask for their voting papers. If they then fail to vote they should lose the right to vote for five years. Why waste paper sending out ballot forms for those who have no intention of using them? (that's the supporting eco-green argument) | |||

I look at it differently.... black people in south africa couldn't take part in the vote till 1990.... for me... whether you agree with it or not, this is the one time every 4 years you do get to make a difference... people have died to protect your right to vote....... even as tentwilly said... if you don't agree with any of the candidates, write "none of the above" on it.... I have done that in the past!!! if you don't vote... then for me you can't complain about anything because you had the chance to do something about it.... | |||

If someone felt that strongly they would vote for the opposition."and working on past turn-outs there could be twice as many non-votes as Conservative votes, how do you count that? Add them to the incumbent and you would never have a change. The lasts turn-out was only about 60% of the possible vote! So say, 35% of 60% is close to 21% of people supporting the Conservatives, or in other words 79% don't! LOL | |||

"You tell me the answer then, as I see forcing people to vote as undemocratic. I believe Australia fines non-voters $10Aus for not voting and because of that they have 90%+ turn outs regularly." Its a tricky one.... for everything I have said this morning I don't believe everyone should be forced to vote....the lovely thing about democracy! choices!! However, if you decide not to take up that choice you had to vote... then I don't think you should whinge about the government or the decisions they made that affected your life.... you had the chance to make a difference... | |||

" That's pretty much it really isn't it. Any penalties people suffer for not voting would seem draconian. I'm certainly not in favour of any financial penalty for not voting either. Maybe a points system a la driving licences. 3 points for not voting, get 12 and you're out of the next one by default, maybe? | |||
"the goverment are mother fuckers who has made my kid have no school today so everyone can go to her school and put their crap on paper for people to ignore they all ready know who has won, we know who has won. its not the people and at the end if the day i am now stuck with a wingy 4 year old and no where to bloody send her!!! haha and alssssssssss if u look at it another way, it dont matter who they pick, they all sing off the same sheet nothing diffrent will happen i can bet ya that same old shit by just another ugly dude "Same here, mine's off an all!!

" I'm saying that those that don't vote are satisfied with the current government. If they weren't they'd vote, wouldn't they. Seems a no brainer to me." What a load of pish!
I have never voted and never will vote, because who ever gets in just goes back on there word, and ruins this country even further.
I refuse to have anything to do with the whole bloody sham!
O and for the record, if i want to complain i will, because i don't vote does not take away that right. Free speech and all that...then again that's out the window when it suits these days too | |||

"Well it looks like all the NONE voters got their way ,,, today we wake up to a country with no government at a time when we need a strong government more than ever ,,, so to all who think your vote aint counted , please think again ,, and i,m sure some of you may have see the upset on folks who didnt ( for what ever means ) get their vote cast ,,,,, Voting is really a fundamental right ,, and please think long and hard about getting off ya arses and voting ,,, i,m sure even the numpties amongst you can make an X with a kids pencil " As is MY right i chose NOT to vote, NOT because I'm lazy and couldn't be arsed to vote, NOT because I'm a numpty as you so elegantly put it and NOT because i wanted a hung parliament. I didn't vote because i DONT want to be a part of giving someone power who i don't believe in, who i believe will go back on everything they say, who i don't trust! This is MY CHOISE, just like its YOUR CHOISE to vote, but i don't come on here and call you names because YOUR CHOISE is different to mine! | |||
"_aughty_kitty : they go on about school is important but think nothing of shutting it for a day why could they not have done the polls somewhere else, like in the public toliets or somthing" I would of mistaken the all them Ballot Form's for poo paper!

"if you think i was pointing the finger at you then nowt i can do about that ,, but i will just say to not vote ( as is your choice ) is in my opinion selfish and disrespectfull of the millions , yes millions who gave their lives so you can choose not to vote ,,, if your able enough and clever enough theni believe that not voting is not only letting yourself down , but the whole of the country but most of all those who made the ultimate sacrifice ,,, like i sain in the op if you dont think any one of the candidates will make a difference then , spoil your paper ,, but to sit at home with ya feet up and complain when things upset you ,, well u only got ya self to blame for that , " I agree you where not pointing the finger directly at me, but you where pointing the finger at not voters, which i am. Like the poster above what is the difference between spoiling the paper and not voting at all...IMO nothing. I agree people gave there life for me to have the right to vote...if i CHOOSE, which i don't. It is not me that lets this country down, its the two faced, untrustworthy people you are asking me to back and vote for that let this country down. This country is a shadow of what it once was, and all the people you talked about who gave there lives so we have the right to vote would be turning in there graves if they saw the state this country is now in!!!!! | |||
