but, sadly, i think that moth is right. this kind of disillusionment is much more obvious in the states even than it is here.
it's a sea change. first god died, then democracy. wonder how long till the free market kicks it?

the only alternative to voting is to have mass abstinence. So that there is a mximum of, let's say, a 3% turnout.
Only then can the abstainers count the public servants and services to be on side and can stage a fucken REVOLUTION!!!!!!!
RAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRR

i think you'll find it hard to sell abstinence 'round here.

the electoral system still bothers me though - I can make a vote up here for the Scot Paliament based on issues I belive in through PR; if I want to vote Green for example it's not a lost vote, it counts to something on the list system. I'm getting used to that thinking and the general election now leaves me in a bit of a quandary.
This Arsehole or that arsehole, first past the post.
big Charles'll probably get my vote nowadays - just for being a lovely wee ginger Scotsman of course :)

The sad fact is I just don't see any real choice in who to vote for. There is almost nothing between the parties, no big ideological diferences...

i think they're all a bunch of twats, i think the choices are quite poor and limited. I have yet to decide who I will vote for.

independents, if there are any, can be a good choice...

My mates dad stood as an independent msp, would have been voted in anyway, but joined labour at the last minute... hes now the minister for education...
His son was excluded at 14 and sold me my first weed.

(Apr 26 05, 01:48)Hello. You'll notice your chum Kuz is also rather absent - on a flight back to whence he came.
I'm also on the trail of a sham marriage - some shaven headed lad (in fear of a penile chop) has been letting wind of his little scheme in this very forum. His own fault really. I too have THAT fetish but only on occasion, and I'd never take it so far as to marry one of them...

kilroy. kilroy. kilroy.
you have just given yourself away my friend...

Anthologised for calling people cunts?

in reply to the election question I think I am more motivated to vote now than ever.
Despite it not making a blind bit of difference, despite my MP being one of the Labour MP's who I agree with, I want to use my vote to register my disgust at Blair and his cronies.
The interview with john humphries highlighted what a disgrace they are... I really get the feeling that whatever happens ballot day the question of legality and Blair lying isn't going to go away.
He can't continually be exposed as a liar without any repurcussions? Even the best non stick pans can get damaged if you apply another heat for long enough!!?
Voting against them is the best tool we have for registering your disgust with them.
If you listen really quietly you can hear John Smith turning in his grave.

Where is Kuz?
