Mr Bloke Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 No, because it's about voting, not not voting What about if we had a forum poll to help us decide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickiethecat Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 It's an old but true cliche, "whoever you vote for the government always gets in". I've never voted in all my life and I'm certainly not going to change now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonzo77 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 If you're not planning on voting, you shouldn't have much of an objection when UKIP get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 People died in wars to enable us to have the vote. So please vote so they didn't die in vain. Which wars? Were any of our enemies trying to take away our right to vote? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melthebell Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 No, because it's about voting, not not voting surely its telling none voters to vote cos the voters are already gonna vote ---------- Post added 21-05-2014 at 10:22 ---------- If you're not planning on voting, you shouldn't have much of an objection when UKIP get in. not a cat in helps chance, despite what the apologists espouse on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna B Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 You're calling MY personal choice a "waste". Seriously, how dare you. Sorry if I offended you. It wasn't intentional or meant to be personal. Many apologies ---------- Post added 21-05-2014 at 13:52 ---------- Is it illegal to spoil you ballot paper? Also, is it possible for someone to track your voting sheet to find out how you voted? Thanks. No, your vote cannot be traced. And spoiling your ballot paper is not illegal.

L00b Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Which wars? Were any of our enemies trying to take away our right to vote?I think Hitler might have been after a single-choice voting system for the UK around August/September 1940 'til about early 1945, like for most of Europe around that time. Now, between that and taking voting rights away altogether... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna B Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 by the way shouldn't this have been in the none voters thread? cos now its turned into 2 I wasn't sure where to put it so I started a thread, then thought about it and put it in the non voters thread too. But I agree with Alice, it's about voting, not not voting... err voting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penistone999 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Yes I know it's a flawed system and it doesn't work properly, but please, please, please get out there and vote. If you don't it will be interpreted by the political powers that you're happy with things the way they are, or you're apathetic and couldn't care less. From what I've seen on here neither are the case. For those who still don't know who to vote for or are disenchanted with the lot of them, and want a 'none of the above' vote on the ballot paper (which is illegal, apparently) you can always spoil your ballot paper in endlessly creative ways, and you will still be counted in the turnout figures, (and I think the number of spoiled votes has to be announced on the hustings along with the other figures.) And don't forget there will be loads of independents standing who never get a fair crack of the whip. So let them know we are a mighty force to be reckoned with, and our votes have to be earned. Let them know we've mobilised and it's not just in Russia that they get a 90%+ turnout. I will be voting .................. Our Nige has my vote in his pocket , as he will have in the locals and General elections. UKIP all the way for me. ---------- Post added 21-05-2014 at 14:15 ---------- If you're not planning on voting, you shouldn't have much of an objection when UKIP get in. I AM voting and i have no problem what so ever UKIP getting in. In fact i have a feeling they are going to clean up at the European elections.
