They died for it at a time when the vote really mattered. In the past there were the big class struggles, the epic left-right divide, communism v fascism, the radicals v the establishment etc.

But voting right now isn't important. If the BNP were to go on a metioric rise and threaten to come to power, then my right to vote would be useful. Or if it was a big issue with a referendum like Scottish independence might have.

But it really doesn't make a great deal of difference in the grand scheme of things whether I get a Labor/Tory MP.

no, now its just a question of whether i will be retiring in a country that more resembles france or hungary, given that we are facing a national debt of 400% of GDP by 2040!
