Totally agree. I actually joined this group, not only becuase I do agree with the title (but would similarly join a "'I bet I can find a million people who DON'T want Nick Clegg/Gordon Brown/Bob from my local shop as our PM" on a whim), but mostly because I wanted to see what people were saying and talk about some of the issues (though I guess I could've done this without joining too). The first point (as part of a larger overal point I might add) I made in the group was that getting people to join the group wouldn't change the election, but it would be a forum to express opinion. And, yeah, someone had a go at me for mentioning, as part of a larger point, that joining wouldn't change anyhthng - my bad for bothering :) Anyway, my larger point, and the one I'm getting to, was that few of my peers vote regularly. I've voted in every election since I came of age and thinks it's important to do so - even in the silly elections. Glad to know someone else is one the same page on that one :D
