I stopped voting here in Oz in the 1980's. I was a trade unionist and the then labour PM went after and destroyed lots of them. I voted for that prick, just like a good son, voting the way my father did. That's the usual thing isn't it, we do the exact opposite to our parents in every regard but voting. Weird. Here it's compusory to vote btw, one of the last places on earth for that, but there always loopholes, always loopholes...
