I stopped voting after the tory sleaze scandle a few years ago, and the recent expenses scandle, along with the many restrictive and unnecessary laws brought in vindicates my actions, imo.

People argue that I must vote as its a priviledge to to so, but I maintain that being allowed to put an X on a bit of paper every few years isn't enough. I want to be able to write on a side of paper my thoughts, opinions and suggestions, and then be assured that it will be read and noted - something that has never happened on the occasions I have written to MPs.
