"Not voting voids your right to comment on policy"
Not if we the people, en mass, refuse to participate in a system that obliges us to choose a candidate who we do not want to be in the Prime ministership.
In the days when people fought for the right to vote, to not use that vote was wrong. But that was a long time ago. I believe to vote for soemone whom you already know to be unfit for purpose is a far worse moral crime. If the nation could all refuse to vote in high enough numbers it would bring about a catalyst for political change. Otherwise, we just keep voting for the least terrible chump and the system slides ever downward at our expense and their gain.
