Don’t vote, don’t count

I disagree with Terry Prone, when she says that people who do not vote in elections are ‘important’, ‘useful’, ‘sensible’, ‘sophisticated’.

I disagree with her when she is surprised that they are ignored.

We waited through 800 years of imposed government before setting up this democracy. The blood of former generations was spilt to give us the right to vote.

People who do not vote, a right for which many in the world are still fighting, deserve to be ignored.

They literally do not count.
