So people are fed up with Labour, don't trust the Tories?

 

Surely the answer is to vote for an alternative?

If everybody did that then perhaps the Lib-Dems wouldn't be a wasted vote?

An internet poll I have voted in, actually puts Tories on 35%, and Liberals & Labour all but tied on around 25%, so perhaps we are in for a surprise in May, although I have no idea how easy it is to manipulate the voting.

So, to the contrary of your opinion, I think it should be made law that you have to vote - even if it means having a box that simply states 'none of the above'.

I was under the impression that they fought to protect our freedom of choice, which includes the right to choose not to vote.

A law making voting compulsory would be as draconian as one forcing people to wear crash helmets or seatbelts or even one banning an innocent passtime like..hmm....say...foxhunting.

Trust me, it will never happen in this country, now I am off to practise my archery, I don't want to get nicked for playing footie again.

Oh..... you mean the sensible laws are draconian?
