But there’s more to democracy than just having a vote. Under our FPTP system, it’s possible to predict the winner in a great number of constituencies before a single vote has been cast. Meaning that if you live in one of those constituencies then your vote is pointless if you don’t want to vote...
As others have said, there’s a ferry from Rosslare to Bilbao. They’ve extended the motorway almost as far as Wexford now so it’s easy to get to. You’d avoid all the brexit related hold ups in Kent too.
