I didnt vote either, I have no interest in poilitics, I couldnt give a stuff who wins!
I dont know anything about any of the partys, so there is no point in me voting as my vote wouldnt really count as I would just bevoting "just because".

Maybe next time I'll pay more attention.]]> Sun, 09 Nov 2008 14:19:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22317&PID=539617&title=our-flatmate#539617 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22317&PID=539586&title=our-flatmate#539586 Author: Maya

I didn't vote But then I did spend 36 hours in bed with the most vile of tummy bugs. I don't think my fellow voters would have appreciated me sharing what turned out to be some highly contagious germs

I am gutted tho, I am a huge believer in the democratic right to vote, and this is the first election I haven't voted in since I've been eligible Plus I keep up with politics even tho it bores me to tears...]]> Sun, 09 Nov 2008 13:20:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22317&PID=539586&title=our-flatmate#539586 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22317&PID=539458&title=our-flatmate#539458 Author: caraMel

I agree! BIL did exactly that with the 2 major parties this year and I thought 'Why bother voting if you don't care which one wins?' ]]> Sun, 09 Nov 2008 09:08:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22317&PID=539458&title=our-flatmate#539458 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22317&PID=539410&title=our-flatmate#539410 Author: caitlynsmygirl
