The likelihood of every voter staying at home Zero the likelihood of folk changing Zero.
@leatash . i never stated we should go back to the 60s and 70s, that's in the past. I agree with your comment about an "I'm alright jack" attitude. Maybe more people today people are just concerned about themselves and their family and little else beyond that, compared to in the past. But the rise of individualism is born out of Thatcher's meritocracy, it worked people are less likely to ...
We can't turn the clock back, politicians in the 60s and 70s were normal working class guys who had a passion for doing the right thing, now things are more complex the economy, NHS, Policing , etc, etc are far more complicated and we need highly educated people to run the country. Strikes really, do we want to go back to a 3 day week, power shortages and what did it achieve last time absolutely ...
Forget making them sit up and listen. They're often referred to as the 'political class', they relate more to the corporation, bankers and upper class than they do to citizens going about their daily lives. They occupy their own class between the top in society who the appease and aspire to replicate and those at the bottom who they have little in common with and in the case of the Tory party; who ...
The way to make real change is for every voter and i mean every voter to stay at home and not use there vote so the only folk voting would be politicians so every candidate would have one vote each and therefore we would have stalemate then they would sit up and listen.
Politicians are part of the system, they uphold it. The system is inherently flawed, therefore politicians are part of the problem and not part of the solution. From what i've seen locally, nationally and internationally the vast majority are in it for themselves or are simply lobbyists for powerful corporations and institutions that have basically bought democracy. We can change this ...
How many people are sick of ALL politicians? Same old promises, same old lies, same old failure to actually do anything positive and long term for the people of this country. We all go to the poles to place our vote only to get another few years of misery whilst the politicians get large pay increases, big expense accounts and their own private security as things get more dangerous in the REAL ...
When the Tories knock on anyone's door, why not ask them:- What have you done to our Police Force? (You all moan about the lack of Police) What are you going to do about our Armed Forces as they have been vastly reduced since the Tories come in? What are you doing about the NHS as it is in such a mess now? And let's not forget about Education. The list is endless. So then, ...
@Andrew - very funny. no i didn't. As it is the weekend I am giving the other person whom I contacted a few days grace to get back to me. If they don't then I will post only the one reply on here I have received. (I told both persons that I would put their responses in the public domain).
