Ah, so they're allowed to vote to express their opinions, but you admit
that they are voting for people with no chance of electoral success.
They therefore have no hope of being represented in the political
system and voting doesn't really offer them a chance to influence the
running of the country. Boltar said in his reply to me "I'm sick of
these so called activists who seem to think the voting booth isn't good
enough for them". Well I'd suggest that in actual fact the voting booth
isn't good enough for them, because they have no hope of electing a
candidate who would represent their political views.


Personally, I'd doubt that most of them were even on the electoral register
as they might end up having to pay community charge!
