I sort of like the idea
but the people who shout loudest on the internet tend to be the ones I least want to have a say in how our country is run.

damn right
once I started looking through some of the suyggested laws I felt quite worried, until I remembered that the website is pretty much pointless. Unless one of the ideas gets a couple of million votes they;re going to be ignored.

Maybe it's a trap
Anyone who takes it seriously will be hunted down and removed from the electoral roll.

I tried to have myself moved from the electoral register.
The person on the other end of the phone was baffled. "Why?"
"Well, I've got no real desire to vote, so there's little point."
"Errr..."
"Look, I'm not trying to avoid council tax or anything. I would just like to have my name removed from the electoral register."
Turns out you're not allowed to be removed. So all those campaigns saying that you have to register to keep your right to vote ought to be saying that you have to register to stay on the right side of the law, irrespective of your desire to vote.
