Difficulty in using your vote - little sympathy from me. Non-political General Election thought

[Guest]

Well I pity you Peter and Jakko, what do you do pin the ballot paper to the wall and throw darts at it.
Thankfully we only have those that bet on the election and then cry foul because they were found out. Or start the dirty tricks of trying to ruin peoples ideas of who to vote for. Or cannot tell you what a woman is or which tiolet they need to use...

And we are starting to get into political debate...

No, we are describing the ballot papers and illustrating the difference - and after all it is a current topic all over Europe at the moment.
No one is telling who you should vote for.
So let's stop being woke for a change, and let freedom of speech come to the fore.

You could have asked for a postal vote, they cost you nothing except the ink in your pen and a walk to the post box. You can even spoil your vote and that would be counted.

A first for me in this election! I actually have known one of the major candidates for over 15 years - we used to take part in the local quiz league, and in a small town I often used to bump into him. Very odd, an actual person, rather than a face on a flyer!

Not judging anyone with this comment, there are many factors that can make voting difficult, when I could still vote in the UK elections half the time my postal ballot form arrived on or after the day of the vote.

Many years ago in a class on civics the teacher explained: You have the Right to vote, you also have the responsibility to use that vote.

Here in Belgium it is mandatory to turn up and vote, although you have the choice to say “none of the above”.

you have the choice to say “none of the above”.

I wish we had that choice in the UK.

This country is screwed whoever you vote for your only chance is to vote for someone outside of the two main parties so they don't get a majority.

Perhaps we should have started a 'none of the above party'......we would be in power tomorrow :smiling6: :smiling6: :smiling6:
