I am intrigued that you don't object to waddy's arbitrary assignment of votes based on who agrees with him, but me wanting to exclude non-productive people from voting gets the attention.

So let's see, you'd like to see the following people discounted from voting.
1) People on disability allowance who are unable to work
2) People who may have worked most of their life (and contributed more to their country than you) who suddenly find themselves out of work through no fault of their own and having to rely on benefits
3) The elderly who draw state pensions (after all, now they've worked all their life what rights should you rednecks let them have?)
4) People actively seeking work but are unable to find anything
5) Students (a lot of them claim housing benefit)
6) People with a few children that claim family allowance
the lists goes on, the main thing they have in common is that they all claim some form of "welfare" payment from the state, the other common denominator is that they all have a RIGHT to vote.
You're beginning to paint a rather unrosey picture of yourself.
