1st election in a long time where there's been this close between the 3 parties. LibDem never stood a chance in previous elections and voting for them was like throwing your vote away 'cause they'd never get in, but things have changed and they've changed a lot.
Which is good for me, 'cause Labour has ruined this country and Conservatives don't represent my interests whatsoever.

It does not matter who you vote for you still have to report to the same douche at work. So if you want today to bring a start of real change in your life kidnap your boss then throw him into the sea in a big bag

If the individual is an actual conscientious objector then they do still have the right to complain. Now if the individual just doesn't give a **** then true, they do not have a right to complain.
Either way, my best wishes are out there for you all.
EDIT: To clarify; I believe that conscientious objection goes beyond just refusing military service. I believe that conscientious objection can be applied to/by socio-political belief systems as well as the traditional application of opposing military service based or moral and/or religious beliefs.

I hear this all the time but I refuse to vote for a bunch of lying, scheming idiots just because I have to. When you have the right to vote then you have the same right not to vote. As for not having the right to complain later if you don't vote, I completely disagree as in my opinion every tax payer has the right to complain if they feel the need to.

Edited by: Vogue on 06/05/2010 13:25:08 Edited by: Vogue on 06/05/2010 13:22:53 Imo politicians are hypocrites becuase voters are. People want government services but at the same time don't like high taxation. Politics in a 'democracy' is about compromise for the masses and moral balance. But not rights for the individual.
People in the UK are in denial about the huge deficit. If any party said 'when we get in we are going to slash spending for the long term health of the economy' they would not get voted in.
If voters want honest politicians then they need to get honest themselves. For example if voters don't like the western presence in the middle east then they should accept unstable and higher oil prices if USA and others moved out.

I agree but someone is going to get in regardless if you vote or not. Better it be the one you hate the least

That pretty much sums up what's wrong with the UK at the moment - lots of ********s who complain but won't do anything about it.
In plenty of countries it's a criminal offense not to vote and it should be the same here.
If you don't like the system then engage with it and change it - nothing is going to happen if you just sit on your fat arse and complain about nothing happening.

For all the objectors... remember you can write something along the lines of "no suitable candidates" on your ballot to show your objection and still be counted.

Nice. So because we have a right to vote we shouldn't have the right not to vote? There is one political party that I agree with a number of their policies but I feel that voting for them would be like voting for the **** party and immoral. But no, obviously I am just sitting on my fat arse, complaining as you say. No wonder politics threads aren't valid on this forum when people try turning it onto personal attacks on the first page.

That is BS. People can choose to vote for whomever they want, and if they find that there is no one to vote for then they certainly do have the right to complain about it. One can choose to vote for the lesser evil, but no one shall ever have to.
Instead, one can argue that those who voted may not have the right to complain about it later if their choice turns out to be crap. But you will not see this happening either ... --

It is beyond easy to make multiple fraudulent votes in this country...
I think between my uni address and home address I can make 4 votes and thats with me not making up people at my address and using the postal vote.
I would vote Labour but in my constituency it would be a wasted vote.

I once had two voting cards for a general election. I only used one. I will watch the general election coverage throughout the night. It's like a sports event in a way.

The answer here is to spoil the ballot paper because it will get counted as a rejected vote. But if you simply refrain from voting, it will be shrugged off as "voter apathy". There's a difference. ____________________

Not quite. The problem is that some people just cannot live with the thought of others not going to a vote. They come up with reasoning, logic and judgement, rather than to accept it as the people's liberty - as if the world would collapse when they did accept it as such. They then quickly believe that allowing such liberty would automatically result in sodomy, anarchy and what not. So they are willing to accept that some people spoil the paper only so they can disregard others as apathic. It is utter nonsense and the bureaucracy version of a pyrrhic victory. --

Well here in northern Ireland, we don't really bother with the labour/conservative/lib Dem parties. Considering we've been improving year by year, i voted DUP.
Though i can't stand Brown, so hopefully the Tories or lib dems will win (leaning towards Tories at the mo)

Surely that is then your fault for not voting against them when you think they will screw up?

Edited by: Arianhod on 07/05/2010 00:04:26 Slammed down my x on the LibDems after luncheon today.
5 - Labour 1 - LibDem 0 - Conservative 3 - Other
As it stands there is an issue with the polls being labled as a scandal. For those unfamiliar with British elections, the time is 7am to 10pm for voting, and thats it. Seems thousands of people were still quing at 10pm and were turned away.
This is due to the results of the exit poll, which at present shows a swing of around 94 seats to the Conservatives from Labour, and 1 from the LibDems out of 650 available.
For the record, I am in Edinburgh South. This is a 3 way race with 1% between Labour in the lead, then LibDem then Conservative.
