Not Apathetic

Tell the world why you're not voting - don't let your silence go unheard

They're not voting because...

I can't. I am French and under EU laws...

I can't.
I am French and under EU laws I am not allowed to vote for national elections, but I pay my taxes in the UK. Something need to be changed here!

Not that it makes your lack of voting rights in the UK any more acceptable.

Peter Piper replies: Just because you pay tax here doesn't mean that you are automatically entitled to vote.

Many tourists visit the UK, spending money here and paying VAT.

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.
