stating that:
A) I was voting in the first place
B) That I wasn't voting Tory
C) That me reasons for not doing so were based on the above
Merely that those were stupid reasons to vote Tory, although I will add at this point that they would also display a lamentably knowledge of political history, and a shocking naivete worthy only of a child or possibly the educationally sub-normal.

I've made no statement as to my political beliefs, or who, if anyone I will be voting for, one could assume from what I said, and with as much evidence, that I was in fact voting Tory, but was doing so for other reasons.
That said, I don't find anything as such wrong with refusing to vote, there are many legitimate reasons, including, but not limited to dislike of all the candidates on offer, the lack of a "none or the above" box to tick on the ballot paper, disbelief in democracy as a valid system of government, and disbelief that our current system is even fit to be considered a democracy. I'm sure there are others those are just off that top of my head.
That said, and before you go jumping to any more conclusions I shall, in fact, be voting.

It quite possible for me to argue that anyone who thinks that Gareth Barry is better than James Milner is a fool, without being a Man City or Aston Villa fan.

and possibly tangential post regarding ducks
I saw a duck today, it went "mwap mwap mwap" in the way that ducks went.
I admired it's earthy humour.
