They're not voting because...
- The Representation of the People's rules...
The Representation of the People's rules make it prohibitively expensive for the minority party which I would like to vote for to put up a candidate in my constituency. Also these rules exclude minority parties from effectively putting their case through the various media, whilst majority parties can do so at will. So the electorate are denied the opportunity for an informed vote because of this denial to minority parties. In other words, there is no opportunity for the minority to become a majority.

One would have thought that, because the majority parties have plenty of opportunity to set out their stalls at any time, there would at election times at least be a "level playing field", but this is not the case.
I am not apathetic, so I will be writing "Socialism" across my ballot paper and any other comments that are appropriate.
