To despise people who don’t vote

[Unfinishedkitchen]

Found out recently that a friend who complains about the possibility of Brexit didn’t actually bother to vote in the 2016 ref. I know of a few people who couldn’t be bothered to vote in the recent EU elections although it appears they have plenty to complain about.

I actually feel like distancing myself from them. I know at least one of them has bothered to in to vote on one of those stupid ITV talent shows.

There’s some woman right now on the radio saying she didn’t vote because she’s fed up and doesn’t know who to vote for!

Why are so many people happy to be bystanders in things that affect their lives and those of their loved ones? Maybe that movie ‘Idiocracy’ was a premonition?

But you can. Your details are held anonymously and not revealed. All you have to do is explain why you would be at risk.

Yeah thats true, but I was reading the op that all votes should be held anonymously, that is a huge slippery slope that would make "muh russian interference" small fry for conspiracy theorists.

It's not easy to do it anonymously, it needs to be a police inspector or refuge manager or social services who signs off on the request and it's only for one year.

I have had contact with womans aid through the freedom programme but no one involved with me could have signed this off. They don't just take your word for it.

@Sheldonoscopy I hope the cat is better and that your pain has eased off.

Live and let live, OP!
