However that is how our political system works, doesn't matter how many vote (it is their choice to vote or not to vote) it is the percentage of those that actually bothered to vote that counts..

Three people telling other forumites to move and leave this thread alone. Surely the best way to let the thread die is not to contribute at all. If you feel it's no longer relevant to this section then ask the Administrator to move it but leave others that still want to discuss aspects of this highly charged issue alone.
