Tom Steinberg replies: Yes, this site is edited, in order to let it perform the task described in the bottom right hand corner. I will repeat that this site is not about encouraging people not to vote, nor vice versa. If you feel strongly, feel free to leave comments. However, if you post reasons which are not explanations why you are not voting, we will continue to remove them.

In fact far too important to waste on politicians. How dare you suggest that I am asleep. I am interested in politics, but sick of party politics

Not voting does make a difference.
Simply voting because 'people died for [my] right' is a painfully glib argument, which shows a tremendous lack of perspective.
Voting for a party, not on merit, but because i have the right cheapens both my vote and the legacy of the people who fought to ensure i had one.

Francis Irving replies: Personally, I think there are plenty of good smaller parties, and independent candidates, to vote for and encourage.
I hope that doing so changes things more than not voting, by encouraging a turnover of parties, and pressurising larger ones with the policies of the smaller.
But then, I'm an optimist :)
