WHAT: No Vote 2010 - Campaigning for the lowest turnout in British History

The 2010 Election puts most of us in a quandary. We want to support democracy but can't bring ourselves to vote for any of the useless parties that are on offer.

Thankfully there is a solution and its in our hands:  Don't Vote.

We are aiming to get the lowest ever turnout in a British general election.

The record low turnout  is 59.4% in 2001.

We think that so many people are so fed up with the current way that politics is done in this country - and around the world - that we have every chance of breaking this record.

We are aiming to get under 50% turnout.

This would mean that less than half of the electorate voted and that any government formed could not claim to represent the people or the country.

This would make the crisis of our current system clear to everyone.

This would make it very clear that we need change. Real change. Root and branch reform.

A change to the very political system itself. A clearing out of the current politicians. The chance for new parties to be formed, for new politicians of a new kind to emerge.

Most importantly it would put people back in power. It would put us back in charge. It would give us all the chance to reconnect with politics and to create the kind of communities, societies and governments that we want and that serve us.

One of the many things that the main parties have in common is that they all tell us that we should vote.
Its time to tell them that we will only vote if we have something to vote for.

Reject all the current parties and their greed. Reject the current system.
Reject the self-serving media. Use  your power.

Don't Vote 2010.
