My grandfather from my dads side of the family fought in WW1 and spent time in a German POW camp. As a wee lad he often told me his reasons for fighting, and that was to preserve our freedom and democracy. I'm pretty sure he'd be rolling in his grave if he read some of the comments here on why people didn't vote.

Then there's one of my uncles whose best friend fought in WW11 for much the same reason. He has always told me the importance of voting and why we have that right today.
