This
I nearly didn't vote (for all sorts of reasons, none of which have to do with apathy, and most to do with the opposite of apathy)

But the glib "Oh, if you didn't vote you can't complain" that people come out with is the worst kind of fallacious bollocks. As if the outcome of your single vote is in any way predictable.

I didn't vote for the Lib Dems, because I don't agree with their policies.

The outcome isn't predictable
...yet voting is, however, the only thing that actually changes anything. Well, bumping off Murdoch would change things but is for some inexplicable reason illegal.

Well it is a bit like not even trying to help, but bitching when the boulder rolls down the hill.
Having said that, I'm in little mood for the coming election, seeing as I find myself disappointed with the Lib Dems as of now or any of the choices. Though I'm open if their manifesto is a lot better than the shite they're churning out now. Not that it would matter anyway considering my constituency is a Labour safe seat.

Further I think the op can refer to all those claims that since "you vote Lib Dem you brought the apocalypse".
