You find that people who don’t vote don’t complain -they moan.
If the government screws things up then people have the right to complain regardless of who they voted for or whether they voted or not. Lets face it it matters not who you vote for they’re mainly self serving liars who’ll say anything to get the job
Pete.. they can complain until the cows come home.. but the fact is that once a government is put into power by the voters, the only person who can disband that government is the Queen.
Therefore, people had better be sure who they want in power before they vote, and if they cannot be bothered to even go and vote, then more fool them. They have a vote for a reason, and if they do not want to exercise that power, then in my opinion and in the opinion of the voting public, they do not have the right to complain if they do not agree with the policies of the government that gets in.
Now don’t bother carrying on arguing this point for the sake of it Pete.. they can spoil their ballot papers if they don’t want any of the parties, but they should go to the voting booths and make their feelings felt. And NO they DO NOT have the moral right to complain if they cannot be fekked to get off their @rses and go and vote.
I’d carry on this argument for the sake of my opinion not for the sake of arguing. The majority of people vote for the same party all their lives anyway, and often the turn out is less than 50%. This being a democracy and therefore majority rules i’d say non voters can complain all they want, after all theres no point the voters complaining, you’re stuck with them for 5 yr
Except at general elections where it’s above 50% (damn it) :oops:
And NO they DO NOT have the moral right to complain if they cannot be fekked to get off their @rses and go and vote.
By this, do you mean not voting is immoral?

the general election will be on 6th May folks… who will you be voting for? I am trying to decide whether to draw a cartoon on my ballot paper or whether to actually vote for one of the shower of shyte who are standing for government this year.
ooooooo lets do cartoons :D/
and to think those that sat on the fence could of voted labour back then and the pits might still be open :wink:
:) well I am particularly good at drawing pluto
as for not voting being immoral…….. yes… it is. Immorality shows lack of regard for accepted conduct, a lack of discipline or an inability to keep to the code of behaviour accepted by society. Our society is steeped in democracy, and the mainstay of democracy is the right to vote.
Take that away and you end up with fascist regimes!

Well you certainly appear to be spaced out……. :lol:
Complete nonsense………i dont vote so i have no right to complain about the disgraceful act of war now being perpetrated in the middle east and beyond? One of the main reasons these Islamic insurgents fight the west is because they dont want their democracy….steeped in hypocrisy, greed and blatant abuse of power….that pankurst woman must be turning in her grave :roll:
The right to vote also gives rise to the fascist groups who over time, change their public persona and…..some take advantage of that right to vote for these…. now that is immoral. And before democracy????? all immoral ??????………Rubbish!!!!!!!!
