because there are people voting BNP and want "the blacks" removed from britain
I on the other hand am not a racist cunt, and the reasons I'm not voting are out of my control...

are you saying that the racist's argument is more valid than mine?

No, but I'm saying it will be more successful in being heard.
That's why you should vote. THere are 99 nice people, and 1 BNP person.

If all the nice people don't vote, and just complain that they're not voting because they pay tax, and that one BNP person votes, then those 100 people will be represented by, and thus assumed to be, a BNP group.

That's how it works.

no no no...
I didn't say that I'm not voting BECAUSE I pay tax - I'm saying I have the right to moan (between elections) because I pay tax, regardless of whether I vote.

Let's not talk cross purposes here (because we're getting off point - or at least my original point) I think everyone SHOULD vote - I just don't think people should dismiss their views just because they didn't vote...

Ah - icy.
To a certain extent I agree with you, except I think everyone should vote and should be obliged to vote.

But yes - I'll listen to people who didn't vote if they're prepared to offer a substantive alternative.

Just complaining that they don't like whoever got in, however, I will treat with short shrift.

I think that's what I was trying to say.
But writing this at work, dealing with idiots both around me and on the end of the phone tends to sap the mind somewhat.
