I empathise with this view, but I don't agree with it on the basis that it is a demorcratic right not to vote.
If people were not voting as some sort of protest, then I could understand, but the fact is that they are simply apethetic to the whole process - simply believing that anyone in power is someone to moan about.
This is partially the fault of the politicians and partially the fault of the non-voters.
One thing I particularly feel is that non-voters shouldn't really complain about the leaders of the day.
