sobriqueElection day has arrived. Go ye.
Vote ye.
And if you can't bring yourself to mark an X by the party that sucks the least, at least exercise your democratic right to spoil your ballot paper.
I'm somewhat serious about that too - not turning out to express an opinion one way or another, means you - rightly or wrongly - get lumped in with the other schmucks who don't actually care who's in power next.
If you want one, make the X.
If you want none, spoil the ballot.
But please don't opt out entirely - even if you don't like how it works, not turning out gets your opinion discarded as 'voter apathy', where turning up and abstaining doesn't.
