So You Want My Vote

Post by Mark1961 »

So you want my vote.

I know what I’m voting for.

I don’t have a clue who’s is in the running.

So I can’t base my vote on the best person for the job.

I’m not going to vote for a conservative candidate. Simply because I’m conservative.

As things stand, do we need it? No.

Do I want it? No.

Do I think it’s a waste of good money? Yes.

So what do I do?

To answer my own question, Bugger all........ I won't be voting.

I always thought, you have the right to vote so you should, but not in this case, not voting seems more apropriate. Lack of interest can also send a message. :dry:

Typical really....

The UK judicial/penal system is a creaking gate at best, and the choice
given relates to a matter of leadership...........................................................

It's like asking if we should plug the holes in a sinking ship with paper or chocolate :S

Arguably, scribbling out some signatures would make more sense- Social Treaty, and Human Rights charter
- would free our judges hands in sentencing, and would mean that life could mean life again,
in those cases where it mattered. (the lowest I've come across so far was a 7 year stretch for 'manslaughter').
Some benefits in the immigration stakes too.

Although this would have to be balanced up with some entrenching of rights that should be
unfettered in this country - the right to protest, for instance, which has been under threat in
the last 10 years or so ......

Like a lot of people, I'm hoping we might one day see a referendum on the EU.....
Not holding my breath though.. :(

Mark I would vote for you anytime. I have not been able to bring myself to vote for any politician since I ended puberty. :S

I'm so excited by this, so much so that I can't remember where I put the voting cards :unsure:

If you are going to go to the bother of showing up please don't screw your card. What that will do is boost the voting percentage & they can claim it was an overwhelming success with a majority turnout. All is well with democracy.

Tick the independent box (if there is one), if enough people do that it might start to worry some of those pigf*ckers sitting up in the big house about keeping some feckin promises for a change :angry:
