Bloody voter apathy drives me crazy! If you don't vote you have no right to moan about the state of things. 17.5% turnout in Salford.
17.5%
Outrageous.
I think that voting should be compulsory, but there should be an additional box on the form to allow you to abstain, if you do not wish to give any of the candidates your vote, and that you have longer to vote - so there are sessions over several days, to allow people time to vote around their commitments.
But not voting should not be an option imo, even if your vote is I Wish To Not Vote (cos you're all bastards)
Go on. Hit me...

To think that voting should be compulsory, with a £1000 fine for failing to cast your vote.
