Shame on you, Quids.

I think everyone should vote (unless you are currently in a hospital wing with your leg up in plaster). Even if you deliberately spoil your paper or vote with the flightiest of intentions, it's the least we can do in a democratic country.

Don't have volume high if you're at work!

Edit because I linked the wrong video.

PGC - Paul Waugh at Politics Home wrote earlier today that the best spoiled ballot paper he had come across was someone who had scrawled "You made me pregnant you bastard!" next to the name of a candidate.

The question is whether it was Ken or Boris?

You see PGC, I am, at heart, a middleclass, middleaged, anarchist (6)

It is because we live in a Democratic Country we have the right not to vote.

In Non democratic countries voting is compulsory but there is usually only one person to vote for

if you value your life.

Non Democratic.. You are not allowed to speak out against the Government.

Democratic... You can speak out against the Government but no one will Listen or take any notice.

Are you saying Australia is a non-democratic country? I'd say it's more democratic than the UK in a number of ways.

(Actually, it is not compulsory to vote. It is compulsory to turn up, get you ballot paper/s and put them in the box. There is no imperative to actually make a mark on it.)

I voted Green 1st Labour 2nd

[woodrot]

100K voted for the greens.100,000 people put this as first choice

Like Ralph Nader back in 2000, the greens ensured a fascist got elected.

[Marmora Man]

Only a political illiterate could describe BJ as a fascist.

It takes a certain kind of leftist idiot to use the term as a shorthand for the "slightly right of centre" that Johnson promotes. BJ is perhaps more of a libertarian, certainly socially liberal (gay marriage, green & eco friendly etc), along with a pronounced desire for self determination, non tribal politics, low taxes and smaller government.

You don't understand the meaning of 'fascist'

You don't understand the meaning of 'parasite'.

You're not doing very well today, are you? There are on-line dictionaries out there to help you, you know.

Not bothered about the others woody but the latter? Quite right, and about bloody time!

I've had it with getting a half cup of coffee topped up with a tasteless white foam that makes my cup look fuller than it is - but is really just a rip off. Let's stamp it out and demand a full cup.

Froth Away Now!

as a missing the point tag team, you and MM are pretty good

[DulwichFox]

Loz...

I said... In Non democratic countries voting is compulsory ....

I did not say that where voting is compulsary the country is Non Democratic...

[Huguenot]

There are only 10 countries in the world that have enforced compulsory voting: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, DR Congo, Ecuador, Luxembourg, Nauru, Peru, Singapore and Uruguay.

Of those I think it would be unfair to call them all non-democratic, possibly with the exception of the Congo which is down to the fairly constant civil war.

You did also say, "It is because we live in a Democratic Country we have the right not to vote."

In most non-democratic countries, voting isn't really on the agenda.

People have fought, been imprisoned and died for the right to belong to a TRADE UNION - a right still denied to many in oppressive regimes so everyone SHOULD join a trade union... No?... oh alright then. I suppose it's a choice thing.
