Why not? 😕 You have no idea what you're missing! There are plenty of people all over the world today who would Die to have a say in their government. And to pass up our right is so disrespectful to all those who Have died fighting for our freedoms and liberties. We're so lucky that we have the right to vote, and elect the people we want leading our countries.

Well do you think i would be mad enough to vote for people, who will get a pension of about £1000 a week when they retire. Plus there many fiddles with expenses, just making a fool of the British tax payer.

Yet again it looks like apathy will be the winner.

Would you vote for "none of the above" if you could?

I'm voting Lib Dem because of the illegal war in Iraq.

Someone's going to be elected either way, right? So why not have a say about who it is? 😕

Because most voters don't have a meaningful say, of more than 600 constituencies only about 10 will decide who is the prime minister in a close election, then there's a group of 20 or so which will decide if he gets a workable majority or not, then there's 100 or so which determine to what degree the result is a landslide or not, the election already being decided, and the rest are certain to return an MP of a certain party.

Aye. I remember just after the last General election or was it the one before? Labour had just won and then just after they got settled they took a vote on who thinks MP's should get double their wages. Hmmm. I think about 10 voted against.
