I will vote, always do, people died for our right and are still dying in other countries and so on... but I can see why people don't.
Especially in European elections - there is fuck all engagement between the EU and European 'citizens'. My vote counts for diddly squat and voters count for diddly squat. It's all a carve-up between bureaucrats and politicians feathering their own nests - including Farage.
The auditors have refused to sign off the European Union's accounts for year after year after year because they are so dodgy, yet nothing is ever done about it. The fat cats swan around getting fatter and sneering at anyone who dares to question them.
Meanwhile the Commission overthrew democratically elected governments when the shit hit the fan, in Greece of all countries, the birthplace of democracy, as well as Italy. And punished ordinary Greek people in order to bail out German banks.
The whole currency union was always a con, they knew it was a con, and the people who have suffered are the ordinary 'citizens'. So much for citizenship when you've got diabetes and can't afford insulin - just one of the prices paid by ordinary people for the whole stitch-up. But hey, as long as the financiers are doing OK, and the banks get bailed out, and the MEPs can keep claiming their generous allowances for rolling over and letting big business dictate the terms, who cares?
