Most anarchists refuse to participate in elections.
No, far from it, but we oppose the electoral system because it is a fraud, and we oppose the thinking behind the system because it is false. In Britain, we have a general election once every five years or so. If a person lives for 70 odd years and first votes at twenty, then they get to write ten crosses. That is all the say you have got under British 'democracy'. The democratic swindle starts with the idea of 'representation', one person standing for many others.
