...to not vote today

Tories have a massive majority here (more than double LibDem and Labour combined vote), They are so complacent about winning they don't even bother to campaign locally: definitely no door-to-door 'can we count on your vote?' stuff going on around here. We have had the same son-of-a-peer MP for fifteen years and prior to that we had another Tory for years on end.

I've always gone and voted anyway, have always considered it a moral obligation actually, but today I'm feeling like I really can't be arsed. I wish I lived someplace where I thought my vote might count, ie. where another party might have a fighting chance of getting in. I like to think that every vote counts and is important, but it's clear that my vote means nothing here.

WIBU to just not bother today?

Dr Seuss would be me, one of your posters, the Cat and Mouse would be a reference to the Women's Suffrage Movement.

Seriously, if you don't know this stuff then you need to do some book-learning

There are some seriously patronising people on MN.
