The only anarchist position on voting for the government,
or even for some powerless body which nevertheless
_claims_  governmental powers, is 

>DON'T  !!

But if the temptation proves too strong, then there
is a  fall-back  anarchist position which goes 
like this :

>Okay, so you feel you just got to vote. But you
>don't got to  _tell_  anybody about it. You don't 
>got to say "Vote for the New Government Party".
>Just think how much fun you can have being
>smug and completely insufferable in a few years 
>time, when everybody is complaining about this 
>New Government,   saying it's even worse than 
>the old one. You can hold your head high and say

>WELL   _I_   DIDN'T TELL YOU TO VOTE FOR THEM !!!!
