It does'nt tell you what to do after you have put the vote in the box  .
Some may get lost after this point what with not neing told and all and remain by the box until escorted out or even upsetting other voters by hanging around and asking for help  . |

Interesting question, and one I've been pondering myself. I have little faith in the abilities of the Great British Public {as you may have noticed} to make sensible and rational decisions about anything. They seem to be unable to make their minds up about anything unless it's put to them in the simplest terms... hence the spin and hype of the TV "debates" {which were anything other than real debates}. It's been said more than once that whoever will emerge victorious from today's proceedings will have had to had "that X-Factor". And I think that tells me everything I need to know. I think the problem lies in the fact that everything has now been dumbed down to such a minuscule degree that few people even bother to apply any intellectual rigour to the mental processes required to think through their own political creeds, hence they never actually develop any. It's not, I don't think, that they're actually stupid, they're just not trained to think for themselves.
I still believe that democracy, in the words of Churchill, is the least worst option. It has, however, sunk to new lows in terms of public apathy since the 1950s. What's the way out? No idea, except to suggest that people look beyond simply acquiring to inform their principles and {lack of} motivations. That and moving out of the idea that we have to be as much like the USA as possible in all things.
