Goodbye Fatty Brown (fingers crossed)

A serious question - do you help fetch people to the voting centres regardless of who they support? I have deep misgivings about the Conservative party, almost as much as Labour by the way.

You target people. EG, if they have indicated they will be voting tory you offer them a lift. Unemployed people living in a tower block are not likely to vote tory, so they can F### off and walk, in the rain, uphill, bith ways, with no shoes, over broken glass etc etc etc

Work with the local party, post the leaflets, on the knock and contribute time, money and effort. I am helping tomorrow to fetch people out to the voting centers and doing the 'running', getting polls back to central office, that sort of thing. This country needs to be shot of that fat bastard, and get a Conservative Government back in control.

Are you totally insane? I have nothing against a Conservative Government, but led by this bunch of ninnies? For the first time in my life, there is no candidate that I would wish to represent me in Westminster: two schoolteachers, a guy who appears never to have worked at all, a crap constituency MP (who has twice failed in ministerial positions), a student, and what appears to be a milkman. I would have voted for any party that had been truthful about what is needed for our economic survival. But they all bleat on about 'Reducing the Deficit'. Yeah, right. :rolleyes: Oh, bugger it! I suppose I shall have to vote for one of the school teachers, they at least have worked (after a fashion) and both have something other than B.Ed. Now, which is the one who doesn't look 12 years old, and has more than 2 expressions? Oh, Dear God! No, no! He's the bloody Conservative! Ah, well. Conservative it is, then. And thus, dear reader, are the fates of democracies decided.

Spot on. I've always thought that anyone with an IQ under 110 should not be allowed to vote since they clearly won't understand what they're voting for.

Vote Lib Dem. Even if you don't agree with all their policies they represent the best chance of getting the electoral system changed for one where our votes are actually worth something and it's not a straight fight between two equally abhorrent entities.

oh great, chanege to a system where small extream parties have power far greater than its support purely as it can swing a vote, oh and to do this they want thier little bribe, look at the eu to see what effect that has on a parliment
Smile and the world smiles withyou, laugh and they think you are a nutter

So you want weak governance, where unpopular but necessary policies cannot be enacted, where the BNP and Communists get a seat in parliament, and where the party decides who your MP shall be rather than you? Excellent. Let me look at all the success stories in the Banana Republic of Europe.

Good Luck. We gotta wait till November 6, 2012 to get rid of our US sack of useless sh*t.
-
The one that left us with a budget that was heading to a surplus along with a stable economy? Yea, I hated that guy.
If I have accidentally said something witty, smart, or correct, it is purely by mistake and I apologize for it.

I want representative governance where we get something other than two parties, one built to screw everybody but the rich and the other built to screw everybody full stop, take it in turns to repeal the work of the previous government, create their own mess and then leave. Minority parties may get some representation (and for every raving racist there will be a mild-mannered green), and their representation will reflect their popularity and the strength of their position. They will have some influence but not much. The current system is unfair. I have 0.2 of a vote and the party that most closely matches my beliefs (Liberal Democrat) has little chance of real power. The only hope is reform.

If you manage it, then consider yourself lucky. We had to wait 8 years to get rid of the last worse than useless sack of shit.
The wonderful thing about the Darwin Awards is that everyone wins, especially the members of the audience.
I can only hope. I've somehow had the luck of voting for the loser in every presidential election I've cast a vote in. I keep voting for what I think is the lesser of two evils. And the country goes right ahead picking the worse of the two. Guess I'll just have to bide my time till I can seize power and set things right...

Well to be fair, the huge internet boom (thanks to al gore) injected a lot of energy into the economy. It's not quite accurate to put all the credit for the rising bubble on Clinton's head and it's bursting on Bush's. Perhaps more fun, but not accurate.
-
Not really, there are state level elections all over this year, and there are plenty of shitheads up for election.

Man, that is just totally hosed. :~ If you think they are that stupid, at least be up front about it and strip them of their citizenship.
