They're not voting because...
- Where's the choice?
Because the choice in my constituency is pathetic. It's dyed in the wool blue, so there's no chance of anybody other than the Tories winning, and its not even like I can make a credible protest vote, with liblabcon being joined only by the right-wing nutjobs of UKIP.
I did go to the effort of getting and returning a postal ballot on which I made clear my position, supplementing it with an anti-war sticker and a witty remark about using your cross wisely to cricify a politician...
Real politics is made on the streets, not in the ballot box. Hopefully I'll see some of you there!
