@ ogdenz - 16.05.21 - 03:41am So if there were 3 people you didn't like or trust you feel you should be forced to vote for one of them? Wouldn't you like the option to say ''None of them'? So if someone you don't like gets in, you would rather have no options at all and give up? Seems like a very defeatist attitude, me old ornamental garden gnome. |

I think a non-vote needs to be stronger than that. It doesn't achieve anything, but it should do. Not voting, or voting 'none' does nothing. One of them will still win. In fact, the worse one standing for everything you're against has more chance of winning power than if you'd voted for the best of a bad bunch. Or nearest your ideals. What i'd like to see is a box for 'unacceptable' but i don't know quite how it'd work. Other than introducing an additional body of independent public representation to intervene into parliament. Then who would they be, and how would they represent public opinion against political parties? I just don't see a way around the system. You have parliament and you have countless parties to stand. Anyone can stand. The only reason we've got into a two-party system is because the majority of voters shaped it that way, and the non-voters let them! |

Alanball. So.you thinks its OK for hamas to fire rockets everyday into israel then go running into schools using children as human shields for protection when the Israelis try to get them? You really don't know what your talking about do you? Do you know their not Palestinians, their Arabs occupying jewish land? Do you know much about history or do you get your information from the media? The media who just tell nothing but lies an put on performances.
