In the context of the referendum, that's the stupidest statement I've seen in a while.

You're asked for an opinion - should we stay, or should we go. You're not sure either way (because neither side is actually giving anything of substance).

Some people said "fuck it", picked one (because they wanted to be "part" of the referendum).

Others said, still not sure, so I'll not vote either way.

I've got far more respect for that latter group than for the former. I know people who voted Leave purely because they wanted to be "involved" and are now pissed that GBP has tanked etc. Frankly, they brought it on themselves, it's just pity they also helped bring it on the rest of us too.

The best reason not to vote is because you don't feel strongly enough in either direction. The worst reason to vote is simply to feel involved in that process, it's not a fucking lottery ticket.
