To be honest, I'll be happy when they get back to beating around the bush rather than trying to botty kiss one...

:lol: :lol: =D> Very good.
I have to agree about Thatcher. She may have made many enemies, but she did actually get things done. Not always to everyones benefit, but at least there was movement. These days, everyone's just too scared of 'consequences' to actually get of their backsides and make changes.
I haven't voted in a general election for years. I simply haven't seen anyone who I think stands out from the crowd as a born leader. And I'm certainly not a believer in protest voting.
datalas:
sadly the problem with not voting is that it tends to be dismissed as "voter apathy" which is, at least by the sounds of it, entirely not the reason you aren't voting.
It used to be accepted practice that in occasions where you didn't like any of the candidates particularly you could register as a protest vote. AFAIK these are now discounted.
It's a bit of a shame, but at the end of the day the vote is the only real power you have to affect change, it might not be much.. but every little helps.

I was thinking of setting up the "None of the above are fit to run a country" party. I'd certainly vote for that option. However, I'm not quite sure what I'd do if I got in :lol:

Hmmm, i'll be the local candidate in my area....the money is damn good if you get in.
Apathy really is the problem, what about the vote rigging that went on , its like being in a banana republic!
