Irritating canvassing answers

Some of the canvassing answers you get that I find ‘strange’ to say the least.

  • ‘I can’t see the point in voting you are all the same’
  • ‘I can’t see the point in voting, it won’t change anything’
  • ‘I won’t vote this time because of expenses you have been claiming’
  • ‘I believe in voting, but I won’t because I think the system is wrong’
  • ‘I don’t know, I don’t really vote normally, I’m usually busy and, er, my dinners ready’
  • ‘I don’t vote, I’m not bothered’
  • ‘I’m not interested’
  • ‘Sorry my dinner/lunch/ any other meal is ready’
  • ‘Sorry I’m on the phone’
  • ‘What gives you the right to ask me that question?’
  • ‘I know as a woman I should vote but…’
Only in a democracy do people say this, in some parts of the world people will travel for days or queue for hours to vote, but in the UK every now and again you get answers like this, very sad to those of us who believe in democracy.
