Nor me. I was surprised to find that one of my old classmates is standing for Senate though, especially as we're from England!

I find that irresponsible. Here we are on the government created Internet engaging in the free exchange of ideas and you don't want to take part.

I think that's wrong. I am not asking you to vote for a particular candidate, just to take part in the debate.

You know, the best vote I ever cast was for an Independent candidate. I felt that was one of the times that I really voted. It wasn't out of a sense of duty. It was because that was what I wanted.

By the way, who the friend who is a Senate candidate? Just curious. I am not going to do anything nasty.

You are aware, yes, that not everyone who is on here is in the U.S.?

His name's Geoff Cook - I think he's in Rhode Island. I still live in our home town of Stevenage (hence the not voting).

I normally vote in UK elections but sometimes exercise my right not to. If everybody here actually turned up to vote the system could not cope anyway!

I know, but I have a feeling that most of the readers are here in the United States. 😉

Understand, some of the people saying "no" are not US citizens.

The elections for Her Majesty's government were in May this year.

I'm a British citizen resident in South Africa.

I agree. Every US citizen should go and vote.

And everyone should go and vote.

Ah, my apologies. It's good that you voted in May, though.
