But seriously
rather than "I HATE LABOUR and I HATE THE TORIES" can you try, just try and come up with things that you actually want out of the government and then look and see which parties are offering those things and then make a compromise on the things that party is saying which you disagree with and work out which part overall is closest to your viewpoint.

Just try, don't reply here saying "They're all cunts and crooks" just go off and read the manifesto's, listen to the election coverage on the telly and the radio and then actually do some research on your own, don't wait to be spoon fed the information, that's why we are in the situation we are currently in.

Edit - You don't just have no right to complain, I'm leaning more toward the opinion that you shouldn't have the right to utilise services set up by the government, whoever they are, if you are so fucking lazy that you can't be bothered to go and vote.

Or meet the candidates and see which one you like the best.

Also a good idea.

That's ludicrous
If the fellow pays his taxes he's welcome to use the services he's paid for, whether he exercises the right to vote or not.

I'm not arguing for it
I know it's not really defensible, but I think voting is extremely important and everyone should do it. I think engaging people more rather than using some form of punishment would be better, I was just coming up with something quickly.

Fair enough.
I must confess that aged 37 I have never deigned to vote in my life.

EDIT however I concede that I am so stupid that I don't even know how old I am. I am 36.
