Why aren't you voting?

mobleymobley Posts: 43 Boards Initiate
Hello

Are you planning to vote. If not why not? If you have decided you aren't going to vote in the General Election, we would like to know why in our rant section http://www.thesite.org/community/realife/rants

Please send me (pm or email mo@thesite.org) a five-line synopsis of what your rant would be about.

Cheers

Mobley

    bump.

    come on peeps - we know half of you won't bother and we want to know WHY!

    OR... if you desperately feel that everyone should vote, let us know about that, too.

    :D

    I don't know enough about politics to bother voting. That's my reason, I just figured it wouldn't make a good rant ;)

    Everyone is obviously too "apathetic" or just plain lazy to bother. ;)

    You guys say you are not interested an politics.

    I guess you have never ever complained about something the government has done. :(

    If you are too lazy to even bother doing anything you cant complain when you dont like something the government does.

    all of the parties offer things but hardly ever do they actually do it. i dont have faith in them so why vote

    For me, the parties just try to beat each other, rather than try and improve the country - they don't seem to actually live in the real world or care.

    I don't vote - but I don't particularly moan either. I'm indifferent. They're all the fucking same when it comes down to it.

    im not voting coz i think all the parties are as bad as each other - they all make promises at election time and things don't seem to improve. they tell the people what they want to hear, and then once they get their own way backtrack on it. student fees etc. i guess im disillusioned by it all now.

    It's really not hard to understand who says they will do what. Also there are many minor parties, why not look at them. The Greens for example.

    If you can get into a university to do a law degree you are bright enough to understand basic politics.

    If you don't you're lazy. Well, if you want to be lazy, you have no right to complain about anything the government ever does.

    For selfish reasons I'd be interested in the world around me. It helps with study, and it helps to know just how the bastards are robbing you blind.

    I think voting changes little- it only encourages the bastards, after all- but I think anyone who can't be arsed to spend five minutes writing a cross on a bit of paper deserves everything they get.

    If you understand basic politics then you have no excuse not to vote.

    Politics is only as complicated as you want to make it. Same with the public law module, truth be told.

    I just hate politics. Even if I try to force myself to be interested in it, I don't understand. I'm not going to vote on something that will affect the whole country for something I find impossible to understand. Now that would be silly.

    this is the thing that worries...thing is stressed you are really interested in politics...you just don't know it...i know it sounds boring when you hear "the tories are planning X which will save the country X amount of pounds" yes it sounds like drivel but if you get into the core essence of politics it is interesting and so essential...people say they are sick off what the main parties offer...then why don't you look about and find a party that suits you...if everyone in the country did this there would be change for the better...

    and btw yes i am voting...

    I think it is.

    I honestly think people should vote. They should vote for the stupidest candidate on the ballot paper. And yes, that even includes the BNP or the dirty commie bastards.

    The suffragettes went through that for the CHOICE to vote.

    Not voting is a legitimate decision, just a wrong one.
