For all those not voting who may, spare a thought for those that fought so that you can. Spare a thought for the fact that you live in a democratic country that gives you the right and the freedom to do so. If...

Because it is not mandatory, make it mandatory and I'll vote. With a 100% turnout no one "party" would ever get a majority and it would force electoral reform ... which of course why they won't do it!

About Not Apathetic

NotApathetic was built so that people who are planning not to vote in the UK General Election on May 5th can tell the world why. We won't try to persuade you that voting is a good or a bad idea - we're just here to record and share your explanations. Whether ideological, practical or other, any reason will do.

A lot of users would like us to mention that if you spoil your ballot paper, it will be counted. So if you want to record a vote for "none of the above", you can.
