my salad was lovely
but there was one middle piece of cucumber that didn't have any skin so it was all slimy and that made me heave.

alt: they're all just awful people. i was reading about blair's speech over the weekend. "we can't have a referendum on europe because the people can't be trusted to make a "sensible" decision". like or loathe being in europe, it's a classic example of what politicians actually think of the public.

altalt: something long and fruity.

Good old Blair. Goes to war, causing the death of millions in the process in the name of democracy
and then tells us that we're too stupid to be trusted to vote on important issues.

i can't believe he still gets air time
i went to a charity ball recently, and one of the auction prizes was "tea with tony" (to be taken at tony's convenience, in a location of his choice).

some utter nobber paid £25,000 for that. jesus christ.

He's right though. I wouldn't ask an electrician to do my plumbing
Most people have no idea whether being in Europe is a good or bad thing and aren't qualified to make the decision. Unfortunately a lot of politicians are included in this. Most people tow the party line. Tell a lifelong Tory that a Tory policy is bonkers they are likely to defend it without really understanding why.

the fact that one of the top searches after the leaders' debate was
"can i vote SNP if i don't live in scotland" demonstrates just how dim the average punter is.

but i'd still trust most people to do most things before i'd trust blair.

Why was the Welsh and the Scots even on that lie debate thingy. Should have put them n local news innit.

no, they only have scottish candidates
but you can "help" them by voting labour.

i thought it was worth having them there to see miliband's face when he was asked if labour intend to match their pledge to buy scottish votes in wales.

They still effect us as a nation, as a hung parliament looks likely a coalition government will probably be inevitable.
The SNP will hold a lot of sway if they go into a coalition with Labour, so their policies and opinions should really effect peoples choices.

i wish there was a sensible way we could vote per policy, rather than per party
then we could vote for exactly what we want to happen in respect of education, nhs, environment, blah blah.

as it is, you realise that none of the parties match your wishes, scrabble around for the nearest fit, only for them to break the promises as soon as they get elected.

People struggle to come out and vote once every five years.
Aint nobody gonna bother with the daily trite decisions of government.

Which is why the country's fucked
majority have "doesn't affect me so don't care" attitude. Until it does affect them, by which time it's too late.

I don't disagree with this. But voting on every policy is too much choice.
What we should do right, is vote for a local representative to do it all for us.
( Slippery Mick ‏, Mon 13 Apr 2015, 15:33, Reply)

Problem is very few of them are "local"
Some don't even live in the area they represent, and most do whatever the national party whips office tells them

If they're just following the party then they need kicking out.

Perhaps we could have a text vote on everything? Just like the X Factor.
