FAO Ralf - About not voting
Yeah good point - voting for none of the above would be the better option, I think it could well get a few million votes if it was made compulsory to vote.
I am a very cynical person and I'm pretty much in the camp of 'if voting changed anything in a positive sense, they would make illegal' kind of angle. I'm not even convinced in the grand scheme of things even the MP's themselves have that much power anyway.
True power currently is with those with a great amount land and money. Specifically land as it's not taxed. It's a lot fairer to tax on land values rather than what you earn.
It would be the first step towards a fairer society IMO.
