I don't know if people who vote for him are moronsThere's really no choice when it comes down to it. Thy are all useless career politicians who you wouldn't trust to run a stationary cupboard, let alone a country. Most people hold their nose when it comes time to put a cross on paper.

Voting isn't compulsoryYou can write "None of this shower" to show you cared enough to turn up. Or take a magenta pen and draw a huge CDC

Nuance aint welcome on the internet!Exactly, there's not a whole lot of choice and people evaluate a lot of decisions.
I know I elect an MP not a PM, that's a start in democracy. I've voted for different parties or abstained based upon my local MPs.
I had a friend who used to rant on about the evil Tories and the evil people that voted for them, knowing I have voted for a Tory MP previously. When I would mention surely voting Labour that left hundreds of thousands of dead in the middle east and a highly destabilised region decades later must make her pause for thought, it was all a bit of a shrug really. She also saw the Lib Dem student fees as far worse than the war, which I can't agree with but ultimately is her prerogative. It's far easier to reconcile yourself with the dead when they're brown ones abroad I guess.
I think we would all be better knowing that we all vote for a multitude of reasons, and the more we reduce to morons vs non morons the worst we are all off.
P.S. aren't all cupboards stationary? ;)
