Forgive me if I'm reading this wrong, and I'm honestly not trying to have a go at you, but is that something to be proud of? Everybody reserves their rights to do what they choose, but I've never heard of anybody who doesn't vote and is proud of it. Maybe that's something that differs in the culture over in the UK as opposed to the US.
The North Dakota election in 2014 was full of a bunch of bullshit pieces of legislature that I had no opinion one way or another on, but I still went out to vote on it so my voice was heard. I guess I'm in the camp that it's better to write in a candidate than not vote at all. At least your voice has been put out there that way.
Regardless of the nation, one should certainly not be able to complain about the elected officials if one did not vote.
