Mate I wish I could join you in your belief in our leaders but I'm afraid I just can't. I don't know what the voting is like in Holland or other EU Countries but over here the turn out in elections is getting lower and lower, Democracy is beginning to suffer which is a shame as it cost a lot of lives to keep it
Maybe the UK should form it's own Union with Countries that we have a close affiliation with like Holland
Didn't/doesn't the UK belong to something like that?
I think it's called a Commonwealth....
I'd personally like to see the Commonwealth returned to meaning a bit more than a reason for leaders of it's member countries to get together at the tax payers expense for a grand old knees-up!
There might be ever increasing low numbers turning out to vote in the UK, but it could be worse...
Imagine how much more corrupt those parasites (politicians) would be if it was like here in Oz...
If we don't vote we get a fine!
And when we DO vote, the person we entrust our vote to then gives it away as a 'preferential vote' to someone no-one has really voted FOR!
It's also set up that if you 'donkey vote' or even cast a 'Conscientious Objector' vote it goes to the incumbents
So much for a democracy as far as Australia's concerned
But that's OK, the masses don't generally mind as they still have Beer, Televised sport & Gambling....
Hell, we can even bet on election results!
Now where did that forehead slap icon go...?
