From - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/election_2010/8661984.stm in the "CAN I WRITE A MESSAGE TO THE POLITICIANS?" section:
"These kind of deliberately spoiled ballots are part of the British political tradition, are termed "rejected votes" and are included in the overall turnout."
Okay - so they're not included in the turnout for your constituency but they are still counted.
Yoshi:
From what i gather in Australia you have to vote or you pay a fine!
They do however have a "none of the above" above for if you dont like any of them!
muddy4x4:
I`d vote for which ever puts more money in my pocket, no chance of that then :lol:
What they offer in one hand ,they take from another !!!
So I`m one of those bad people who refuses to vote
Hightower:
To all those that won't vote, the rest of us don't expect to hear any moaning about tax, petrol prices, immigration etc from you until the next general election [-X
If you won't go and voice your opinion, then you wil have to put up with what the rest of the country wants, whether that be right or wrong.
Apathy is not the solution my friends.

ohhh those things are going to get effected for the better by voting then? will NERC get reversed if blues get in? which party is getting us out of europe, ditch the £ and taking on the $ and sell the country and beg to become a remote state of the USA where we take on their culture, freedoms and military might? That's the party I'd vote for.
