Shame on you, Quids.


I think everyone should vote (unless you are currently in a hospital wing with your leg up in plaster). Even if you deliberately spoil your paper or vote with the flightiest of intentions, it's the least we can do in a democratic country.

You see PGC, I am, at heart, a middleclass, middleaged, anarchist (6)

It is because we live in a Democratic Country we have the right not to vote.


In Non democratic countries voting is compulsory but there is usually only one person to vote for

if you value your life.


Non Democratic.. You are not allowed to speak out against the Government.


Democratic... You can speak out against the Government but no one will Listen or take any notice.

Are you saying Australia is a non-democratic country? I'd say it's more democratic than the UK in a number of ways.


(Actually, it is not compulsory to vote. It is compulsory to turn up, get you ballot paper/s and put them in the box. There is no imperative to actually make a mark on it.)

Only a political illiterate could describe BJ as a fascist.


It takes a certain kind of leftist idiot to use the term as a shorthand for the "slightly right of centre" that Johnson promotes. BJ is perhaps more of a libertarian, certainly socially liberal (gay marriage, green & eco friendly etc), along with a pronounced desire for self determination, non tribal politics, low taxes and smaller government.

You don't understand the meaning of 'fascist'


You don't understand the meaning of 'parasite'.


You're not doing very well today, are you? There are on-line dictionaries out there to help you, you know.

Not bothered about the others woody but the latter? Quite right, and about bloody time!


I've had it with getting a half cup of coffee topped up with a tasteless white foam that makes my cup look fuller than it is - but is really just a rip off. Let's stamp it out and demand a full cup.


Froth Away Now!

as a missing the point tag team, you and MM are pretty good

There are only 10 countries in the world that have enforced compulsory voting: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, DR Congo, Ecuador, Luxembourg, Nauru, Peru, Singapore and Uruguay.


Of those I think it would be unfair to call them all non-democratic, possibly with the exception of the Congo which is down to the fairly constant civil war.

You did also say, "It is because we live in a Democratic Country we have the right not to vote."


In most non-democratic countries, voting isn't really on the agenda.

People have fought, been imprisoned and died for the right to belong to a TRADE UNION - a right still denied to many in oppressive regimes so everyone SHOULD join a trade union... No?... oh alright then. I suppose it's a choice thing.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
