They're not voting because...

Britain is only a semi democratic county. Media and Politicians collude to debate a narrow spectrum of policies which leads the people into a democracy of delusion, where by we can vote but for nothing. Where are the real issues, imperial wars, privatisation, arms sales, environment, etc etc etc.
Interestingly the way democracy doesn't work in the USA. There have been slightly more toplevel changes in the political elite in the old soviet union than there is today in America. Look at Wolfowitz and Cheney's careers and you'll see that from Zimbabwe to Iraq to Britain and the USA, democracy is in a shambles and it's the politicians that are making this happen.
