I see the largest vote was for 'my' party. The 'don't vote it only encourages them party'. They got the overwhelming majority at around 57%.
Trouble is it's interpreted as 'apathy' or a 'low turn-out'. I'm not so sure. I think feelings are running high but, like me, a lot of people feel there is simply no-one worthy of their vote anymore.


It would be far better to simply spoil your ballot, than not to vote. IMHO, not voting (AKA 'voter apathy'} makes the politicians believe that the can get away with whatever they want, as no-one appears to care.

That's why I recommend not voting combined with burning cities to the ground.
That way they get the message that people DO care.

Hmm.
Well, I do prefer the countryside over the city - but the nice thing about cities is that they hold loads of people, thus keeping the countryside uncluttered.

When Adam burns Dingwall to the ground all the residents will move to Melness.
