Vote or be celibate !!

This has got to be the most effective voting incentive going - there is a movement in the US where people are being encouraged to deny their partners sex (yes, you read that right .. deny them sex) if they don't vote in the US presidential elections on the 2nd of November (link - BBC NEWS) .... The summary is that people pledge to deny their partners sex for 4 years (until the next election) if they don't make the effort to vote. Of course, this is a completely non-partisan thing, but I can't wait to see the post-election analysis attempt to tell us how many people out there would rather give up sex than exercise their democratic right :-)
