Vote In Your Underwear

They cry for your vote,
So go in your underwear, 
forty percent won't.

And we're back to thinking about elections again. Scandalous how so few people vote. I like your idea of starting a new trend, Richard. Anything to encourage a bigger turnout.

I think it's more like 70% (except maybe during national elections) Relavent one here. I am dying to see the numbers and the results to come!
