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.

Originally posted by Remora91Because 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.

Originally posted by heldenAye. 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.
