People! Men, women, ladies, gentlemen, comrades! Gather here all and listen to what I have to say!
The so-called elections, which have been started here today with so much hullaballoo, are a SHAM.
They're mere fireworks, staged for the people to ooh and aah at, mesmerised as they are supposed to be by the entertainment deceptively labelled democracy.
They're meaningless!
The only way to effect real change is by turning our back to the whole charade and BOYCOTT the elections! Yes, BOYCOTT the elections!
Just say no.
No to meaningless formalities, to carefully orchestrated processes which will by design never allow a voice to the people!
No to elections that by the very nature of how they're set up leave fair and honest candidates outside the race!
Join me here, yes you too, and you - and you over there! Join me here and BOYCOTT the elections! BOYCOTT the elections! BOYCOTT the elections!
I don't even know
how to vote... or what the elections are even for? Oh dear God, I'm a gonner!!
Well, Sanctuary, if you don't know how to vote, you can hardly boycott the elections in good faith, now can you?
Here's the polling place. Now you can make an informed choice to vote or not...

I'm witcha, faceit! I ain't registered to vote nohow. This whole thing is gonna be a railroad job anyhow. They prolly already know who the winner will be. Nosir, not me. I'm with the boycotters. (Any girlcotters around?)
I think the boycotters are winning. For all the noise that's been made, only 50 votes have been cast...
Of course, one candidate wasn't even allowed on the ballot!
Re: Boycott the A2K elections! Do not vote!

I thought the Presidential election wasn't until 2008?
Oh, the A2K elections....
Who wasn't allowed?
And just what wasn't Kropotkin all?
Laeknir Scrat, who ran his own gutsy little campaign, drew 14 nominating ballots. Yet his name appears nowhere on the final ballot. It's most unjust...

Again, someone forgets about me.
I was also left out!
I am boycotting the election, but I find myself wanting to boycott the boycotters, since we just don't seem to be meshing well.
Hmm... maybe you should just consider me far removed from everything A2K.
Even though I'm boycotting, I'd like to know if anyone is monitoring the elections. How are the votes being tabulated? Who's doing the counting? Are there teams of international observers on hand? This whole thing smacks of an inside job.

Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Don't cut off your nose to spite your face. Don't burn your bridges. Don't give way to cliched emotions.
Yeah this election thing is lame.
Can't there be something without a president?
Now a monarch, designated by divine right, that's more like it.
There can also be a president without a thing.
There have been many presidents without a thing.
and presidents without a clue!
We all have our own, special things.
I stand for something myself.
There is no need to boycott. Out of protest simply use your vote to make it a 10 way tie. That way we get the pleasure of 6 months of recounts.
Stumble It!
