removing fines for refusing to sign onto the electoral roll

Additional Information

We the people are governed by consent, and yet there is no lawful means of removing our consent to be governed. Refusal to sign the electoral roll carries a £1,000 fine, and yet, many of us consider this an act of civil disobedience that should not carry such a penalty. The council and central government still know who we all are for purposes of Council Tax, and the Benefits Offices / National Health Service / other government agencies all have our details on file.

Therefore, the undersigned feel that not wanting to participate in the so-called "democratic process" should NOT incur a £1,000 fine just for dissenting to the system in its entirety, and we ask that the fines for not signing onto the Electoral Roll should be rescinded and removed.
