I seem to remember last week that the Prime Minister had said that he would welcome such an interview and couldn't understand why the Leader of the Opposition had declined.

It does wind me up when people I know whinge about things, & then when asked "So, who are you voting for then?" reply "Oh, I never bother voting. Can't be bothered / don't like politics / etc.".

Yup, agreed with FW on that above
As I have always said, "those who do not bother voting, get the government they deserve." If they do not vote, they relinquish their right to complain.

One can always write, "none of the above" on the bottom of their ballot paper.
