I Quit!Scaryduck writes, "I celebrated my last day on my paper round by giving everybody next door's paper, and the house at the end 16 copies of the Maidenhead Advertiser. And I kept the delivery bag. That certainly showed 'em."
What have you flounced out of? Did it have the impact you intended? What made you quit in the first place?

Hands off Political Idol...I'm using it as a plotline in a short story!
I'm of the opinion that we should introduce compulsory voting with proportional representation AND a box on the ballot slip that says "None of the above".
When the results are counted, the number of "None of the above" votes should also be published as a percentage.
The problem with politics is that it's deliberately complex... I can't fully grasp the machinations as to why we're denied the promised referendum on the EU for exampe. So how do you expect someone with an IQ of 94 to understand the complexities of the Common Agricultural Policy?
I'm not saying we should dumb politics down into Newspeak, but the endemic political culture of broken promises and "spin" is counter to what the voting public want to see.
Secondly, the voting public have no comeback whatsoever during the four years when we aren't on the run up to an election. Some kind of OFFGOV wielding a big stick is also long overdue in my humble opinion..
Yes, PJM is in favour of introducing another QUANGO!
