Should be compulsory to vote, ideally with a “none of the above” option. Billions of people around the world would love to have our flawed democratic system, millions have died to ensure that we still have the ability to complain about it. I feel that this puts a responsibility on all of us to use that opportunity as best we can, even if that means voting for otherwise oddball parties that might change the system.
Not taking an interest and not voting would mean that we would end up with a load of self serving shysters – oh, wait, hang on…..see what we’ve allowed to happen here over the years?
voteforpolicies was a real eye-opener as I’m genuinely unsure what direction I want my life, my childrens lives, and our country to take. Turns out I’m a euro-sceptic LibDem. The more I’ve looked at the policies of the parties and watched them twatting about on the telly, the more that makes sense to me.
Feel free to mock/hate as you see fit. It’s called democracy. 😉
