introducing democracy into Britain takes up too much of my time. We propose to improve democracy and government by strengthening the role of the citizen. Using carefully worked out procedures, already tested for in several countries, we can put forward proposals, trigger a referendum to veto a government bill, and start to make our constitution. Join, help, support! You are needed. More detail is at

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.
