Hilarious.as the saying goes....it don`t matter WHO you vote for ,the government ALWAYS gets in
The biggest thing you can do to decide what happens to your life and your country is a waste of time? By not voting, in my eyes, you give up any right to ever complain about government or policy, you are making the political point that you couldn't care less what the government does. I think that's frankly disgusting. Get a grip.
really?PinkPig said:
Yes, really.ANDARIAL said:
Don't talk rubbish. Have you spoken to every politician in the country? By no means do I think they're perfect, but there are people out there who really do want to make a difference. Even if you hate them all, by not voting you're saying that you have absolutely no preference between, say, a Labour government and a BNP government. Is that really the case?
So, you're arguing for general anarchy? Sorry to burst your bubble, but I think most people would agree that it won't work. Someone needs to be in charge. Since we define that person as a politician, and you seem to put a blanket "they're evil" over politicians, it seems you'll never be happy
Not all of it. Some of it, yes. Most politicians, countary to popular opinion, do want to make the general public happy. Even if you think they're only out for a career or to get votes, they get that, at the end of the day, by persuading people to vote for them. Even if you want to make the point that you disapprove of every possible party, then go along to the polling station and put in a void ballot. Failing to show up entirely shows that you couldn't care less who's in charge. The very fact that you argue that you don't like politicians much proves that's not the case. Why are you trying to take the fashionable option and not bother to vote?do you believe what they tell you?are you that naive to think they have YOUR best interests at heart?
c`mon mate get a grip
I'd say that sums up your attitude.ANDARIAL said:oh well whatever
I doubt your taxes are going to the councillor I voted for yesterday. Since you gave up your right to a choice, you're exactly right though, your money is going to who the rest of the country decided it would go to. Don't you want to participate in that choice yourself?i got to go to work now to pay the taxes for the fine upstanding gentlemen YOU have voted for
Yet you failed to give a single valid reason for not voting - unless you count your umbrella assumption that "all politicians are liars".re read my post please ,i have never voted so how is it `fashionable` in my case not to vote
