O/T Disgrace Cummings

You can only vote for what is put in front of you. The December 2019 election was a choice between two people who should not have been anywhere near the top of their parties. It was the battle of the unelectables.

You could vote for neither of course

Problem with this statement animal is. If Boris does pull off a great deal for the UK and we are In a prominent position in 4 years time you must now vote Tory in the next election. Is this something you are prepared to do?.
Prob the same goes for Roly. I don't have problems party bashing bit same would need applying to doff the cap when /if it's reversed

I'd never vote for the Tories Cayton because of their total belief in reducing the role of the state and ideological total trust of private enterprise to run them instead .

i always had you down as a reasonable open minded individual animal. the comment above makes me believe your political views have very little clout. even if someone does good you would not vote them in because you dont like the party. think ive mentioned this before. this is whats wrong with labour voters today.
o well thats my political contribution for another month back into hibernation

You don't have to vote
which I think is a good freedom to have in this country. I can't be doing with the Aussie version and others where you have to vote. Politicians need to know that the electorate are not gonna put up with any cr ap from anybody.

I have voted in every GE since 1983 - the first one after I reached 18. I gave some thought to spoiling my paper last December given the choice on offer.

Even if you don't vote, Roly, a government is elected and you have to put up with the 'cr ap'. Voting gives you a choice over the flavour it comes in.

Why should you have to put up with shyte or bobbar flavours? We should aspire to summat better if we want a progressive society. Our political system dunt have to stay the same. It can evolve. Are you saying we will still have the same political system in 100/1000 years? The world will be different then if it still exists in any recognisable form. The corona virus experience has shown that solutions to global problems need global answers not national answers. The same will apply to the coming environmental problems the world will face. You can't put a wall up as the likes of gfire think and then think you will in some way immune to global warming and environmental disaster. We need global policies to solve these problems and some kind of global democratic politics to do it. If we don't space ship earth will be knacked. The problem for the world is will this new form of politics evolve quickly enough. I have serious doubts myself.

You have more serious problems than doubts.

So what are you planning to do?

Not voting and posting on here to the twenty or so people who read political stuff isn't going to change the world.

[rolymiller]

Just to add I should have also said you can't put a wall up to stop viruses.

I trust you care about the future of your grandkids then crash?
