    I agree which is why I'm going for the tree huggers. We have to stop voting for these idiots over and over again, tactical voting is why some other twat will get in.

    Why don't all the people who are fed up of this red **** or that blue **** simply not vote at all?

    That seems far more logical than voting for someone else you really don't want.

    Dont you think "tactical voting" only feeds more inevitable **** leadership?

    For me it really doesn't matter which ****s you ****s vote for.

    To Keep Propping up some broken system because that's what you've always done is nonsensical beyond measure for me.

    Let's face it, your vote is an illusion. A false choice. The end product will be the same no matter who you vote for.

    The people are stupid
    A person can be smart

    Dont vote

    This has come about as the notoriously fluid U.K. constitution is made up of many things that are not law but convention.

    Bozo and his attack dog, Cummings, decided to take a chainsaw to convention. They sought to use the prerogative powers of the crown to marginalise Parliament, without the accountability to Parliament that makes the existence of those powers tolerable. The result of their attack on convention is that convention has now been hardened into law.

    That is the effect of the Supreme Court ruling.

    It would just mean that one of them would still win with a lower amount of votes. It would be better if people actually looked at the policies and the people in the other parties and simply made an informed choice other than coming out with the "labour all my life just like my Dad before me, may he rest in peace!".

    But you're voting green?

    That's a pointless vote, a protest vote.

    Better off not voting imho that's the best "protest vote" you have, more people do that each time and again and again and this bullshit system changes eventually.

    If you don’t vote then you’re in no position to moan about the Gvt you end up with.

    The current problem is that the two main parties have become so polarised. This current shower of ****e are nothing more than The Brexit Party thinly disguised. The Labour Party under that old throwback to the 1970’s are just a mildly diluted Marxist Party.

    Neither would normally be attractive to the average voter, but ****ing Brexit has changed the rules of the game.

    Sorry but I don't agree. In fact I think that's brainwashed bollocks with all respect mate. Exactly the mindset needed to keep propping up a broken system.
    PS I don't complain about any governments mate. My complaint is with peoples apathy and blindness thinking they have a choice.

    I'm with George. Wait til the end.

    I used to think the same as you but I've changed recently. People call them pointless votes and vote either Tory or Labour so that they have a chance of winning so essentially pick the lesser of 2 evils and then moan like **** when the latest idiot ****s things up.

    If we don't change the way we think then it will continue, I'm actually voting Green because a lot of their policies make sense and they may well have the interests of people and the environment as an actual thought other than power or money.

    If everyone stopped voting for the usual idiots and looked at the smaller parties it would actually change politics in the UK.

    You’ll never change any system because you’re not prepared to do anything apart from not vote.

    Isn't that also true of the people who vote Labour to get the Tories out and vice versa?
