Get out and vote one and all.
I was very excited about doing this. I love the fact that we can vote, and have happy memories of elections (though rarely the results). From an early age I remember my sister and I being taken together / in turns to get into the little booth and watch the magic X being placed on the spot. It was always something to be celebrated - and in my mind to not vote is immoral and irresponsible, yet to make it criminal is a step too far. We criminlise far too easily, and like most blanket/whitewash terms the connotations are far more serious than the actions.
