Poll: The official I voted/election results thread

[D.P.]

More spending on healthcare -> healthier population -> fewer people off sick -> higher productivity -> increased exports.

Would you like another example?

more spending on education -> better educated people -> higher productivity -> increased exports


better infrastructure -> more productive people and business -> increased exports


I could go on all day

Amazing shows how many people who use OCUK have no sense of the reality of most peoples everyday lives.

Whatever happens the only thing I am confident of is that we will no longer have conservatives in government; thank god for that

What's the reality of most people's lives?

 

[D.P.]

Except those correlations are loose and tenuous at best.

So you think a sick person is just as productive as a healthy person?

Working in a dead-end job hoping to retire to their place in the sun for a few years before Death pops round for a chat?

 

[regulus]

Exercising my democratic right to state that none of the candidates on offer were agreeable to me. What's pathetic about that?

If there were a candidate I felt were up to the job, they'd have gotten a little X next to their name. Why would I vote for mediocrity and incompetence?

Then don't. Why bother explaining your position? I don't vote either and certainly don't feel the need to come and explain myself here to people I don't know and will never meet and will have zero impact on my life.

Lib dem for the general and conservative for local.

Would've voted conservative at general but I just don't like Nadhim Zahawi.

The same guy who got caught out using expenses to heat his stables? No, I didn't vote for him either.

How about being chronically dumb with whatever money they can scrape together, keeping themselves in poverty.

Living the dream.

you think an extra middle manager makes sick people healthy?

 

[toshj]

Strangely enough I changed my mind at the last minute. For the last few years I knew who I was going to vote for, however I've taken such a dislike to that party's local councillor that I just couldn't bring myself to vote for him (my constituency is a safe seat for a party I certainly wouldn't vote for).

 

[AndrewNR]

I'm sure they could invent a KPI that'd show just that.

 

[D.P.]

you think an extra middle manager makes sick people healthy?

If they improve services, increase efficiency, reduce medical errors, improve diagnosis accuracy, improve heath profession management, then yes.


Do you think managers never add value to a company?

 

[escape sanity]

You think that the 8,000 extra GPs and the 20,000 extra nurses pledged by Labour in their manifesto are all actually just middle managers in disguise?

 

[do_ron_ron]

Yes MEPs are accountable to their respective electorate. But decisions are made that influence the UK, and these decisions are made by MEP's from other nations.

Yet Cameron is gung-ho for TTIP in which decisions by unelected officials will have considerable influence on the UK.

Nah, love them
It is the other 972,000 middle management jobs that I'm worried about.

Tomo the country will be governed by some party regardless

If you don't like it lump it ... Oh wait you have no choice

No, but they will pull the headcount trick again where you split jobs into multiple part time roles and claim to have added nurses/doctors/police officers when you have actually done nothing overall.

We registered for a postal vote this year, so we actually voted a couple of weeks ago.

 

[The Geezer]

Labour.

The Beast of Bolsover rides again...

With the loss of Tony Benn, Mr Skinner is now a dying breed such a shame modern politicians don't have similar backgrounds
