I don't know whose worse or whom I hate the most out. Journalists, media news or government/s.

I have always voted but am finding it increasingly difficult. The parties - to an unprecedented degree in UK - follow the unelected media and plebiscites like Brexit make a mockery of parliamentary democracy. I shan't be voting again unless things change; waste of my time.

This Brexit could of been sorted years ago. No; MPs had to get involved to try stop a democratic vote. Only in UK would there be 3 general elections in such a short space.
Ireland elections are messy and complicated but it's like voting for the Mafia; they are all in it together.

in America - talking to people who have decided not to vote. I suspect it's the same in the UK and many other "democracies". We don't like any of them. If us "Don't Voters" were counted, we'd win most elections. Covid and Brexit are solid proof that we're right.
