yes Mynydd, you are right. i do feel that everyone should feel like we do. of course ideally, everyone would vote with some sense and do away with all the politically correct nonsense that is eating away at the very fabric of our society.
but quite honsetly, i feel that i have more in common, and a great deal more respect for people who reside on the far left, as opposed to those "lukewarm" people who really couldn't care less.
at least, with people who are extreme leftists, although i disagree with their beliefs, they do have beliefs. They fight for something, they have a "cause".
then again, i cannot make sweeping statement with countries that i do not know enough about politically. for example the family member who you described as voting No, then wishing she had abstained - well that indicates that the general consensus against the EU might have been that abstaining would be a vote of no confidence in the current government.
it is so frustrating when one comes to a situation where one has to sit back and seem indifferent, when in fact that same indifference is born out of a sense of absolute defeatism - a knowing that no matter how hard you try, big brother is not going to let you have your say because he's already brainwashed the rest of the population.
oh well, let's see what happens with the rest of the countries, although i must admit, i don't have any high hopes and spain is solely the first in a long line of losers against the mighty EU.
i'll spare you the question - No, the maltese are not voting. you see our government, in all its patronising and arrogant sense of "my people are a bunch of morons, so i'll speak on their behalf", has decided that parliament will decide this issue. and dont bother trying to guess what our present boot lickers are going to say on behalf of the maltese people.
