Reply To: Political Statements
I’m not going to involve in this discussion as politics always gets too empassioned for my liking. Often it’s me that’s empassioned as well.
I’m going to pass on something I hate about the general electorate though. They are idiots.
Not specifically of course, many individuals like myself will read the relevant policy and decide.
However I am fairly unique in not being aligned to a party, I genuinely vote for who I think is the best candidate.
I will also vote for something I see as been best for the populous even if I find it personally objectionable.
What I hate and why voters tend to idiocy can be represented by a recent event.
We had a referendum on changing our voting system in the UK recently, which I supported I will admit. However many didn’t and many of the people I know who voted against it did so because they didn’t like the politician perceived to be behind it. This is the thing I hate. If the idea is good, step aside from popularity and vote for it.
Funnily enough since the opportunity for proportional representation has passed, many of those I know didn’t vote for it have said that the voting system is broken and something should be done about it.

Yeah we are all buggered then.
