This is a brilliant piece of writing Iain. You have surpassed yourself. I agree with every point and with your proposed solutions.

I believe this is the first time I have no intention whatsoever of clicking the 'like' button to one of your posts, Iain.

This kind of devious, subversive shit simply reeks of the security state. 'don't vote!' - isn't that what Russell Brand said?

Consider this - what if you put all of your article in a fucking manifesto and enough people voted for it such that no amount of vote rigging could stop that majority? There is a limit to vote rigging, after all, beyond which it becomes obvious, at which point the people are finally woken up and realise their deception and you have a fucking revolution.

There is only one outcome of the call to 'not vote' and that's the Oligarchs continuing to govern.

You see, there's a logical absurdity in what you say. Because what you advocate can only happen if a majority 'drop out of the system' and 'organise themselves' in the allegedly 'democratic' way you advocate. If it's a minority, the cabal use force to prevent it. So, if you have such a majority, then like I say, the best way to achieve it is to form a fucking political party and put it in the fucking manifesto and then, hey, if a majority vote for it, you have democracy!

One thing's for sure - if you don't vote, the government wins. And if you are seriously trying to tell people not to vote then qui bono? clue - it's not the people, that's for sure.
