Default Agnostic voters.

Hi Tim

Now you can have a referendum not an election:-)

That would give us nothing to talk about if we met in a pub (apart from how
boring it is!)

Cheers

Adam

As this seems to be topical for some reason .. ;-)

I have never been interested in politics, just in the same way I've
never been interested in Religion, trying drugs, sport, fast cars /
bikes, smoking or holidays abroad. I guess it's not trendy to admit
such, like when you answer 'none' to the 'what team do you support'
question.

But unlike football or Religion I am feeling a bit guilty by not
'joining in' with this voting thing and I could (well, if I could be
bothered walking the 50 yards to the polling station) do what I've
done many times previously and spoil my paper (want to retain the
right to vote but don't have any trust / faith / interest knowledge
in the whole thing right now yada yada).

Don't get e wrong, I am a bit interested (but now the elections are
getting like Xmas and seem to go on for ages) but don't know enough
about it all to make a useful vote for what is really good for the
*country*, assuming that's the point of course.

Personally, if I was looking for advice re which way to vote (and I'm
not thanks) I think I'd vote for a sensible dictatorship and stop what
I see as a huge squandering of time, effort and cash while people play
power games with each and make promises they probably wouldn't keep
even if they got the chance.

Right, I'm putting my head back in the sand down the shed ... (the
bearings and brushes have turned up from Canada for the router I'm
fixing for my mate).

Much more interesting, useful, logical and reliable. ;-)
