All adults have to register to vote in the UK. If you don't you may be fined.

 

Voting is not compulsory.

 

Not registering to vote is a way of living off the grid, much of our financial system is linked to the electoral roll to establish where people actually live, and how long they have lived at a certain address.

As long as you don't claim benefits, pay utility bills etc.

 

On some of the old "Freeman on the Land" forums there was a huge mass of evidence of failure to live off grid - unless you lived in a tent in a remote corner of Wales and managed to forage etc

You vote in memory of all those thousands of lads and lasses who gave their lives in 2 world wars to ensure your freedom !!

What utter nonesense. They supposedly gave their lives for something worth voting for! And for the freedom NOT to vote! But their lives ended because they blindly followed govt orders without question, same happened with the otherside.

You should register to vote, for the simple reason that you are entitled to register to vote.

 

You should also vote, because you are entitled to vote.

 

That’s it, really 

Eh? Is this post for real? I think you’re trolling but I’ll bite anyways..

I’m also entitled to drink bleach, smoke cigarettes and gamble and so on…..despite having the freedom to do these things, I choose not to! – And this choice doesn’t result in threats of imprisonment and fines!

So you should drink bleach, smoke cigarettes and gamble because you are entitled to do so.

That’s it, really.

So enlighten us and let us know which version of democracy is worth it 😎

The fact you probably believe UK has a sort of democracy just shows how much work needs to be done.... 

 

Just for starters we need MP's accountable for their actions (or lack of) and a voting system with a None Of The Above - option along with proportional representation. And that's assuming we have something worth voting for  and an intelligent informed electorate.

We're often told this but it isn't true.  They say 'may' or 'could' As I've already stated, giving NO info is different to giving FALSE info.

How are you planning on getting a new sort of democracy, if you don’t vote?

Mmm. . .  Do you think voting will bring a new sort of democracy, or just prop up the old?  Genuine question, I really don't know what the answer is..  I do know most of the politicians seem to favour keeping the status quo, (for obvious reasons,) which means it's going to need something very radical to change it.

You can try chucking bricks if you like. I’d prefer a reasoned debate and a democratic outcome

I am not one for rioting. However when 'reasoned debate and a democratic outcome' change nothing, the population have been known to take matters into their own hands, (or vote Brexit.)😐

Because if you do not register, you cannot vote. That is the simple answer, despite what you think of the system we employ to select our MP's.

 

Here they are discussing Brexit in Westminster.

Because the fact is we just have an illusion of democracy and participating in this illusory democratic system only keeps it alive.
