I was asked about voting, you know all of a sudden when I know fucking piss all about any politics. If like everything else in the government it's stiched up - then there's little point voting as it's all underpinned by corruption. The way I see it, by not voting - I'm making a point that the systems corrupt. If 90%if people in the uk protested in this way we might see some actual fucking shit happen. You know, stuff like an open tax system, an online petition poll go every single decision in each local area. Shit like that.

 

The system needs to change if it's ever going to do other things other than change the front man every few years.

You could join a party and change it from the inside, if you think its that bad.

Im guessing alot of these people feel very differently to you.

Camborne & Redruth

George Eustice Conservative 15969

Julia Goldsworthy Liberal Democrat 15903

Fermanagh & South Tyrone

Michelle Gildernew Sinn Fein 21,304

Rodney Connor Independent 21,300

I know nothing about politics and I'm a very slow learner. Something like this would take me at least a couple months of research to actually decide what best choice to make - but seeing as I can't be fucked and that I'm quite useless with very little money to sway shit then I'm giving it a pass.

so if we all just protest by doing nothing things might get better?

And pretending that the government isn't corrupt by playing into the hands of the people in charge of this shady system is a better thing to do?

I don't know the answers but both are pretty futile efforts.

If 90% of people didn't vote then 10% of people have all the power in deciding who is in the government. How does that empower the 90%?
