It would be terrible if you used the tools that democracy gives you as an individual to make a statement about how well you feel said politicians have been representing you.I find it a bit weird that someone that lists amongst their interests "keeping upto date with the latest news" doesn't feel strongly enough one way or the other to make the effort to potentially effect change in their country. But then I don't suppose one vote, or the votes of the hundreds of thousands, probably millions that feel the same can change anything...

I remember at school Mr Ewan (RIP, bless his soul) used to ask us if we thought we should have that here, and I think everyone (myself included) said "yes, of course". But then, is that really democracy? Surely one of the choices you should have is to just not vote at all? In fact, shouldn't "none" be an option on the voting slip? But then what if "none" won? Would we progress towards anarchy, in the true sense of the word? Yes, quite.But anyway, that said, people who complain about political issues but didn't bother to get off their arses to go down to the polling office on election day have no right to complain. Especially now that postal votes are so frighteningly easy to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lil_kazzy Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Have you heard that Alex Salmond is going to donate 100 to labour for every SNP target area that Tony Blair visits - he feels that a visit from Blair will cause people to vote AGAINST labour, so the PM would be doing the SNP a favour.*giggles* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardcore Mel Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 something has been bothering me for the last couple days. has anyone ever seen alex salmond and nicola sturgeon in the same place at the same time? mark, you're probably my best bet. because the more i see her on tv, the more i'm convinced she's alex salmond in a wig. terrifying!

SNP for me.[/quote']See, I'm an SNP man, but in my consituency as the Lib Dem leaflet ALWAYS tells us, "only Anne Begg or Liberal Democrats can win this seat," so I'm leaning towards the Lib Dems, because if nothing else I think Britain would benefit from having three properly main parties. It's a bit shit that their main way of getting a vote is basically by saying "vote for us because at least we're not Labour", but then such negativity pretty much describes the reasons for the majority of people's votes.I resent the Scottish Lib Dems for going back on everything they promised as soon as Labour dangled a bit of power in front of them, but I figure this is more a vote for Charles Kennedy rather than Jim Wallace. However, I'll see what other minor parties there are when I get to the polling booth before deciding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
