No, Sasq-sama 
Re voter's rights: I have not had any right to vote since Nov. 1963. Prior to that, I voted once in a General Election, for both candidates! One was extreme right and the other extreme left; voting for both was the only way I had of saying "neither of above", by deliberately spoiling the paper.
I do not mind being disenfranchised because I have yet to see a single candidate that I could vote for, confident that he would represent his electors above that of any other allegiance or his own personal interest.
I could get myself put on the electoral register here, but I'm not bothering as every single politician that I've come across is as genuine as a three-dollar bill. They are on the make and, on a scale proportional to the size of the country, they are more corrupt than any in the USA or the UK (perhaps in different ways). One, in particular, has been hitting the headlines for years in various ways, yet he is one of the few Members of the European Parliament for this country. Some of the things he has been alleged to have done:
- he has allegedly stolen a Turkish flag and been arrested for it
- he has allegedly illicitly imported many stolen antiquities from Turkish-occupied Cyprus
- he has allegedly bribed a policeman in, I think, a shooting incident
- he has allegedly damaged Sovereign UK property (at a British army base)
- he has allegedly driven a car at people with apparent intent to injure
- he has allegedly been struck off the medical register (he was a forensic pathologist)
- etc.
And this is the kind of person who represents us; I prefer to distance myself from such persons. Now you see why I prefer not to have the right to vote!
