They're not voting because...
- I'm not voting because from past experience...
I'm not voting because from past experience no one has made it worth my while to do so. (All my hopes for a better world dashed). But, and here's an idea, if voting was linked up with the lotto - and everyone who turns up to vote gets entered in it, with let's say a cash prize of 1 million pounds guaranteed per consistuency - it would sway me. Turn up, spoilt your ballot paper, and then watch to see if you've won! It could make voting fun again!
