In reply to earlsdonwhu:
Playing chicken on a motorway would probably qualify as being stupid in most people's minds.
Voting the opposite way to you in a referendum does not qualify as stupid, however annoyed you are by it.
And even a stupid person's vote is worth more than that of an arsehole that can't be bothered to show up at the polling station. You might not agree, but it is.
