My Arch-nemesis
I lived in fear of a Darth Vader-esque school dinner lady who stood me perpetually at the naughty table for refusing to eat mushy peas. An ordeal made worse after I was caught spooning the accursed veg into her wellies. Who, we ask, has wrecked your life?
Thanks to Philly G for the suggestion

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.
