Jezza for PM.

Imagined being hoodwinked by the Tory PR machine into thinking he was the danger. The danger was the floppy haired toff all along.

Well, they played the antisemitism card, didn't they?

And it worked a treat.

Boycott the political system.

Don't vote.

Reject this crap.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you don't vote you can't (with merit) complain about the actions taken (or not) by the Executive.

This (and it does my nut).

The "I'm not responsible for this $hitshow because I didn't vote" pretty much sums-up the apathy in England.

I actually disagree with this. If you pay tax then you can.

I am fully against protest votes, or voting for someone to be against someone, I think it's stupid. You can still abstain from the process and be allowed a voice.

More like the other way around. If you vote, you've had a hand in this.

Eventually, people need to realise that you need to weaken the government by lowering voting turnout. Only then will you see change.

Of course you can complain.

But being apathetic to bother doing anything about it is part of the reason, (aside from England's outdated FPTP system) why many feel the political system is in such a mess.


“This Government is terrible”

“What do you plan to do (as an individual) to do about it”

Well they have just banned protesting and some don't want to be part of the system... doesn't leave a lot of recourse unfortunately.

Looking from the statistics form the last GE...

-If you had a degree or higher, 43% voted for Labour, whilst only 29% voted for Conservatives,
-If you were 39 or over, you were more likely to vote for Conservatives.
-Labour won 64% of votes from Black and Minority Ethnic voters, while Tories won 20%

Interesting reading

*with merit*

Anyone can raise their displeasure about the government but paying taxes does nothing to change the administration, as you pay tax irrespective of who is in government.

The only mechanism available to inact change by joe public is to vote.

Don't vote, don't complain.

Simple solution.

When you actually step back and take a look at the situation in the UK or in the USA there is one common denominator as to where the problem lay. White people. Trump and Boris don't come close to getting in without them.

There's no point complaining about a company if you keep giving them your money.

Give them nothing works much better. Or as you call it, do nothing.

Yeah because they’re entirely comparable..

One paid a huge fine and accepted his mistakes.
