It's why Australia's Preferential Compulsory vote brings out over 90% of the vote, a 3 year term keeps everyone on their toes, a powerful Upper House filled with Independents including 9 Greens and very strict Proportional Representation works so well.
They are putting you under house arrest. 
If it came to be a legal requirement, I will shall spoil my ballot paper. |

I have decided not to (I always have up to now) vote anymore. The level of debate is so dumbed down now I refuse to respond to any of their tiresome platitudes. And yes surprising the strong reactions this evokes in some people GM. Personally, I feel quite liberated from giving a toss... |

Totally useless and you must wonder what is behind Labour's power barons to persist with him.
Faced with the most deceptive, deceitful creature who has ever been PM ( the opposite of a buffoon..if only he really were one) yet Starmer can't lay a finger on him.
Doesn't matter who you vote for, without a fierce Opposition we are all toast.
# Surprising the number of people, especially in the USA seeing the vote Trump got, who are entirely happy with a would be potentate and dictator. 
Yes it is an incredibly unhealthy situation Hedda having Starmer lead the opposition. I agree that Johnson is anything but a buffoon - if only more people realised this; he hides a nasty wholly self-interested character behind that facade. Why Labour persist with Starmer who knows. It is surely obvious to all that he is never going to engage "the people".
But I actually think the Labour Party, as such, is finished. Simply, it does not concern itself with or even dare talk about the issues that "working" people care about. Ironically, the Tories talk about the issues they care about but don't really do anything about them. But in the world today, presentation is enough. |
