Has anyone else decided not

[brenda]

to vote today.?

Have been disgusted at the recent scandals in our political system , that for the only time in my life I have opted out.
This decision does not sit easily with me, when I think how hard a struggle it was to get the vote for women, and part of me feels ashamed for not going.

However on balance I cannot, nor do I want to , on this occasion, support any candidate on the list.

Feel I have to make a protest in the only way I know.

Anyone else out , who isn't going?

It is irresponsible not to vote. Are you one of these people who has decided that all politicians are corrupt? Well that's not so. A few have been immoderate, a tiny handful have been worse.

The big question is: Having failed to register your disgust by the hugely symbolic gesture of not voting (which will surely upset your entire neighbourhood), what would you put in the place of British Democracy. It's so easy to carp and criticise, so difficult to construct.

So, apart from sitting on your bum in outraged disgust, what are YOU going to do about it.

Personally, I voted BNP and put loads of kisses in all the other boxes.

I thought about not voting, but given that it was Local as well as Euro, I made sure I did, and then I voted local residents association rather than for a party.

I voted BNP for the Euro, largely as a protest against the nain parties and as a protest at being in the EU - more trouble than it's worth!!

Where did Tameside come from?

[whifffey]

Woops sorry, I see now, you meant "Brenda, in Tameside I had...." rather than "Brenda in Tameside" which suggested a contestant on a phone-in.

Love your logic, whiffey, you accuse someone of being "irresponsible", then admit that you've voted BNP!! What a perlonker!!! If that isn't irresponsible I don't know what is?

[whifffey]

The BNP box was on the form - which suggests it is a legal party to vote for?

You may disagree with them, and that gives you every right to disagree with me, even be mildly abusive to me. I often wonder however, amidst the spluttering outrage of the anti-BNP'ers on here, how many of those spluttering outraged people would resort to violence to suppress them?

I am an adult, and my definition and exercise of responsibility is entirely as valid as yours, however much it may annoy you. Indeed, the more the better.

Slap up the skinheads.
Attack the aryan nation.

And F*ck all their followers.

[whifffey]

Why is it fab? A vote for the BNP is a throwaway, but it is at least a message to "the powers that be" to pay a little more attention to certain issues which really pi$$ people off but which they daren't mention for fear of politically correct hounding.

Also, I may have been fibbing.

[cazzz1975]

do you get into trouble if you tick the voting slip instead of marking with an X?

[NoMercy]

Whiffey - I take it that when you voted BNP and then "put kisses on all the other boxes" that you were, in fact, not being serious, thus rendering paraffin's reply irrelevant.

[HumNugget]

I hope you are whiffey,me and you have stood shoulder to shoulder in our comon war against the fat evil giant,and the small evil elf,actually screw that,we may not share the same ideas on many issues,but on some,we are almost like twins.......

[whifffey]

What, knobby?

[HumNugget]

[whifffey]
