I have been voting since 1970 (aged 18).
"Disenchanted" is not the word! The whole "democratic" set-up is a joke.
I live in Charles Clarke's constituency (Norwich South - a safe Labour seat where the Labour party could put a baboon for election and it would get in) and refuse to vote Labour because of the Iraq war and voting for anyone else is simply a waste of time.
I will have more impact by not voting - thereby reducing the already pitiful turnout figures.
Why can't they have compulsory voting with a "None of the above" option? "None of the above" would get my vote every time!

sans replies: So a baboon can get voted in your constituency but voting for anyone else other than Labour is a waste of time? No wonder Labour have a majority there!
Come one. This isn't a one party state and majorities can and have been overturned. If not this time, then next time. A seat can only turn from a safe into a marginal if enough people vote against the incumbent.
