Hey! I don't vote, but if you wanted to check my posts, I'm probably one of the least bitchiest people here.

After all, do I really think that "party y" is going to get into power?

I find it more amusing that the people that voted for Bush/Blair etc start moaning so badly when they voted for him, at least my conscious is clear on that point.

Maybe all this voter apathy is because, at the end of the day, the UK and Us are two-party systems, so what's the point if you wanted a new angle? The far right are seen as millitants, the far left are seen as loons, the communists and the "pro government zombies" are probably phone tapped. Everyone in the middle is blanked.

It's not like in India where people can vote and go YES, I'M MAKING A DIFFERENCE! It'd be more like, "So, I hate this liar, I'll replace him with another?" WTF is that? Do I need to care so much about the personalities, sex lives and backgrounds of the candidates? Do I need to know that "yes, they will lower taxes" and then start crying like a sliced pig when he double-crosses?

Reminds me of an advert where one man keeps moaning about something and the other just answers "politics," yes, the reason I'm single and looking for a job 25 miles away from home is due to some dickhead passing a bill for a law that doesn't effect me. NOT!

I ain't blaming the system, as far as I'm concerned, one vote either way doesn't matter.

Of course, I wont argue the laziness point. After all, I do not contribute to society. :P
