You abstained – Shame on you
So, did you vote in the General Election?
If you were eligible, physically and mentally able to vote and you didn’t then please shut up now. Do not complain that your welfare is too low. Do not complain that your public sector salary is too low or your taxes too high. Don’t phone in to radio shows, appear on tv shows or write that “Dear BBC…” letter. Don’t Don’t Don’t.
When you threw away the opportunity to cast your vote, you threw away the right to moan, groan and complain. Just continue with whatever selfish past-time floats your boat and leave democracy to the rest of us. You just abstained from society.
Let’s hope a future government lowers tax allowances for abstainers. Anyone abstaining will pay the price for the duration of the government they didn’t TRY to choose and I’m sure this will spur them into action for the next election.
