Are people really still voting

[BlackenedBiker]

I don't want to sound like I don't care but seriously, are we all still voting for this bunch of low-calibre dim-wits we call politicians.

Seriously what are our choices:

Cameron: background as a member of the elite with a privileged upbringing. Zero experience of anything but politics.

Brown: background as a member of the elite with a privileged upbringing. Zero experience of anything but politics.

Clegg: umm next.

Isn't it time we all realized that the way we spend our pound is MUCH MUCH more important than the way we cast our vote.

Our political system is simple irrelevant in this age of globalisation.

If one does not vote, on what grounds can one moan about the politicians that others elect?

Mind you, lately I always seem to be voting for the lesser of evils.

I like to spend my pounds on supporting the extravagent lifestyles of our MPs.

I also tend to vote for the lesser of 2 evils & I guess that'll be Cameron this time around. For the past 2 elections I've voted OMRLP just as a protest vote but I think things are a little too serious this time around for that.

Interesting to see that Labour have rebounded slightly in the opinion polls - according to the Suday times yesterday it's because of a combination of Osborne's frankness over cuts and the improving economy.

What's the point when 80%+ of the sheep vote red abattoir or blue abattoir?

Either way it's the abattoir that wins.

WHS. My father-in-law always moans about MPs (or whatever the Sun tells him is wrong with this country) but never votes, and isn't even on the electoral roll.

I always vote tactically, if I think it will make a difference. Last general election, the (now disgraced) Labour candidate wrote and added the standard "I hope I can count on you for your support" message. I wrote back to her and told her exactly why she couldn't, and to her credit, she responded with an "I'm sorry you feel that way, but if I'm elected, remember that I can still be contacted with any issues you want me to raise" and to her credit, she has been pretty good.

That's a neat trick, how's he manage that then?

Just doesn't return the electoral roll form.

Make a donation to UKIP.

Last time I ignored one they sent someone around to knock on the door. It was on a Sunday afternoon.
