Alert Mongoose Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I’ve shot my load of Greenies far too early. They should just put this thread on the TV instead of bothering with presenters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are nothing but a vanity project for a disgraced former politician. Who do you think picked the ranking of the candidates? Aren't we supposed to be independent by then? This bit is quite ironic, considering your party commissioned two giant buses, emblazoned with the leader's face, for this campaign.

Infrastructure will still be fucked, there will still be no money, the local council will still be useless and the roads will still be falling to bits. if you started a Miserablism Party you could be onto a winner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Khaki Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 1 minute ago, the snudge said: I don't get why 40 odd % don't vote I know plenty of people who, on the face of it, appear to be rational, intelligent, and well adjusted folk, yet as soon as you mention politics you get met with - "aw man... cannae be bothered wi aw that shite. Politicians are aw a bunch o chancers anyway. They're all the same so it doesnae make any difference to me who's running the country. Waste of time voting etc" and so on. Some people genuinely take no interest in politics and current affairs. It's a waste of time trying to explain to them why it is actually important, because there's such a disconnect in their minds between what happens to them on a day-to-day basis and that being a result of what transpires inside polling booths. I don't think you could ever inspire most of them to take an interest any more than you could inspire me to suddenly become enthusiastic about any number of things I have zero time for and no pre-existing interest in. I also think there will be a significant minority who would vote if it was ultra-convenient but don't bother because they either can't be arsed going to the polling station, or 'don't trust' postal voting, are unaware of that possibility. There will be one hell of a lot of inconsistent voters who might only vote in every 2nd, 3rd, or 4th election too. It's not the exact same 40% just not bothering each and every time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fratelli Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 The borders is such a strange mix of posh quaint areas next to complete depravity and then in the middle loads of working class folk who are convinced that they are middle class. The result isn't a surprise at all but hopefully it doesn't have much of an impact. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 My only objection with non-voters is when they are used by the losers of any given election to complain. They'll add them in to try and denigrate the share of the vote the winners received. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
