"Going on strike" - no comments

According to "A World to Win", not voting on May 5 - which they raise from being an apathetic act to being a deliberate withholding of one's vote - represents a strike!

That's the problem with not participating in a free vote, it gives anyone with an interest in opposing legitimate political parties - people with no popular support themselves - the chance to say that you're backing them, even if you don't know it. That doesn't matter, though, because of course you're too stupid to know what's in your own best interests. Rupert Murdoch (the devil) has messed with your mind (of course, there may be some truth in this one!)

No: not voting doesn't represent a positive endorsement of anything. If these people had any guts they'd stand for election on their platform, that:
New Labour speaks and acts not simply for British business but more importantly for global capitalism.
and then we could see what the public thinks.

I wonder what other lessons they've learnt from Arthur Scargill...
