Not Apathetic

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

They're not voting because...

Because I am ashamed of my countries...

Because I am ashamed of my countries war of agression.
Because I am disgusted by the lies.
Because government has become nothing more than a self serving parasite. The solution to every problem is more tax, more bureaucracy, more Government.

Max replies: All capitalist parties will, if the occasion arises support a war to defend their capitalist masters' interests. The only party standing this time who are opposed to *all* war and have done so since their inception in 1904, is the Socialist Party who are standing a candidate in Vauxhall, the reason being that capitalist wars are not fought in the interests of workers.

Those parties incorporating "anti-war" slogans in their manifestoes are in fact only opposing this particular war.

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.
