Hi I actually do vote ( sort of )
I add a box at the bottom write "none of the above" next to it and then tick it. It counts a s a spoilt vote, but IMHO It's a valid statement, as in 1. I can be bothered to vote, 2. I am showing my feeling about the political system and ( those ppl that use /abuse it ) as a matter of interest after explaining my actions to friends acquaintances etc, quite a few have started doing the same thing and recently the number of 'spoiled votes' has increased quite dramatically in our area. Maybe I'm starting my own revolution!
