First of all let me make it clear that I do not approve of elections. There are the fundamental method of group control by the elites. They legitimize politicians in their attempts to control and rob you of your wealth and indeed your whole life.
With this viewpoint I have not been registered to vote in any elections for over 20 years. I did not complete the last census and I refuse to acknowledge most official communication. As I live in the UK I'm grateful that we at least have the system of Common Law which gives some protection from the arrogance and stupidity of government and it does help resist.
However the recent Brexit vote is an exception. In almost every other vote the choice is between which corrupt party or candidate you want to have steal your money for the next few years. No option is given to vote "None of the above" because that would actually empower people to prevent the corrupt political stooges gaining power. Obviously that is completely counter to the wishes of the ruling class.
Brexit was different. We were not voting for a party or a candidate- instead we voted for or against the system. The system is one of control by a centralized unaccountable bureaucracy housed in Brussels (You can actually feel the criminality if you ever have the misfortune to visit that bloated hellhole). Brexit gave the chance for all those not totally brainwashed to register their dislike of the current world order. An order that gives politicians the right to tell us what to say and manipulate our thoughts via political correctness and group think. An order that results in Europe being overrun by a vast influx of completely alien Muslim migrants that expect handouts whilst making no effort to integrate. An order that rewards liars and opportunists that are prepared to prostitute themselves to it.
Amazingly we managed to find the courage and wit to see through the avalanche of lies and threats from the establishment and, by a small majority, voted to leave. Of course the British political and bureaucratic elites are now doing everything in their power to undermine the vote despite daily proof that all their dire warnings about recession, capital flight and being shut out of markets were total rubbish. This doesn't detract from the principle- use every means to derail the elitist agenda. If you ever have the chance to vote against the wishes of the ruling elite do it. I did. I registered to vote and voted Leave. Now I have to de-register so that I do not add legitimacy to the system that seeks to enslave me.
Tell that to the people of North Korea...

They just have a more direct form of control. The only reason our rulers let us have democracy is that it gives the illusion of choice and makes us work harder.
