A democracy cannot run if people do not vote. We need the right politicans to ensure our country is well run. People who don't vote are letting their country down.

Especially as in many countries many people do not have the freedoms we enjoy.

I couldnt be bothered to vote, I am not lazy I am in a new area, have no idea as to what people are refering to as have not found my feet yet, everyone seems to be talking about the same issues so in my view whoever gets in will do what they want anyway regadless what I say, Isn't that usually the case.

I completely agree. In 2005, only 61.2% of the electorate voted. I somehow don't believe that the 38.8% that didn't have nothing to complain about. In fact, they probably complain about everything even more but can't be bothered to do anything about it. No vote, no voice as far as I am concerned. If you don't use your right to vote, you've no right to complain about how the country is run.

definately not being unreasonable

it should be compulsory. Even if you spoil the paper. If you don't vote you cannot justify moaning about the legislation and the government.

definately, i thin it should be made compulsary to vote with a 'no suitable candidate' box on the form.

I'm a student and hardly anyone I know bothered to vote but then thehy complain about all the things they would be voting for.
