I don't condone some of their policies but it seems some folks do.
Sow the wind,reap the whirlwind has never been so apt.
"If voting changed anything, it would be illegal"
deviating from the q a bit - my only issue with the expenses/loss of faith in the politcal system is the clamouring for a general election just feels wrong to me. if the electorate are genuinely disillisioned with the current system (and i think we/they are) then a g.e is not the answer - overhaul of the system and then an election is the answer.
having a g.e now will bring change and being cynical i'm going to suggest that the winning party will say 'there you go - change. we are change. you've got your change now - carry on'.
not good enough, but they are devious enough, the electorate are stupid enough and once the media circus isn't focussing on it anymore we'll have forgotten what the real issues were.
we really do get the politicians we deserve.
So wrong.If an extremist party takes power,then freedom of choice is lost.The Thread title starts with OT......off topic....you do not have to read it...it is not concerning tri directly.....only an extremist would force someone to read something they didn't have too.
How to counter the rise? Easy, democracy. All that needs to happen is for the 3 main parties to make some soothing noises to the fledgling fascists whilst at the same time continuing with the very vital euro expansion and integration.
Simples!
As a denizen of Yorkshire and Humber, I feel particulary bad that I spent last Thursday evening on a rather smashing bike ride - a new PB for my 10 mile course. I kind of remembered when I got back.. but the Missus had "tidied" the voting slips away...
So, you can blame me - the support didn't go up, it's just I didn't vote this time.
I defend TreeFrog's right to say that we can't talk about it! Or something.
