voting error

The recent controversy concerning names not included on the voting register prompted me to ask how democratic are our elected representatives?
!. People can personate and vote more than once.
2.People who believe themselves to be registered are turned away from the polling booths or told their vote is in Tipperary or whatever and who go away without casting their vote.
Since fewer and fewer people vote and Governments are elected with smaller and smaller majorities then how many of us vote or more importantly don't vote for them.
Remember they make descisions that affect our lives from everything from how much you pay to get rid of your rubbish to how long you spend on a plastic chair in a hospital A & E not directly mind but by not providing enough money for those services.
So Don't whinge and decide I won't vote because they're all crooks (I'm sure a lot of them are) But then VOTE AGAINST rather than for.
If you are dissillusioned with a particular party or individual politician don't just not bother to vote VOTE AGAINST them.
Vote for any independent candidate or party standing agaimst them.
Vote for the guy standing on the pot holes or the lDog poo on the street ticket, vote for the person in the Gorilla suit but VOTE otherwise the people who want the current policies of Look after the Rich (Mainly the Rich themselves and some poor fools who think being able to put a deposit on a crumbling pile on the Costa Brava puts them in the Bill Gates bracket) They will romp home again for another constipated five years of more of the same so
Get Registered and VOTE AGAINST. Try it it's more fun than you think.

Oh Dear I just did it all above.
