Yeh but if you don't vote you are just accepting the status quo, which isn't too good is it?

[Metadog]

how will voting change the status quo, mate?

no political parties have policies that represent my ideals or wishes

it's a case of voting for a wanker or a twat, neither of which i consider able to represent me - by voting i appear to approve of them, which i don't

Politics isn't a spectator sport dude. If you don't like whats on offer, you got to get in there and change it. Join a party and neutrise the morons who rubber stamp the dross we have up for election. Or stand for parliament yourself. It's good fun.

[Metadog]

yeah right - that would be lovely

i'm generally open minded, but sadly i can't see that happening

it would be more like join a party and be stifled by the morons who rubber stamp dross - there are no parties anywhere near to representing my views, and i can't see me being able to change the views of a boat load of blindfolded folks - in some ways i am past even wanting to change their minds, it's not going to happen - peoples views are built upon their experiences, and some of my key experiences and understandings are way too far out for the average joe to take on board - my ideas would never be accepted by the general public right now anyway, i'm realistic enuff to realise that, so i can't be arsed to even try

i don't really see politics as a spectator sport, i see it rather more like an unpleasant road accident to avoid

ok, politics does have ramifications in my life but there are too many demonically infected shells out there willing to sell themselves for me to make a difference like i'd like to be able to

have you ever stood for parliament, mate?

I stood back in 2001 in Bradford South. Got 784 votes and lost me deposit. Not bad though considering my entire election staff consisted of just me.

Jefferson said the price of freedom is eternal vigilance. We failed. I firmly beleive we have the government we deserve. They do what they want because we are stupid enough to let them. We switched off and stopped watching. We have been cowards when we should have been resisting. Nobodys talking about starting a revolution but doing your bit and attempting to understand the bigger issues you don't get fed in the papers is a good place to start. We have to start civil disobedience wherever possible and start saying NO!

[Metadog]

hats off to ya, fella, fair play - were you an independent candidate then, or did you represent an established party?

if independent, what were your policies, and why did you only stand in one election?

i totally agree with your last para - the general population are too happy to let other people take charge of their lives

[dan the acid man]

yeah, when it boils down to it, most of us are too lazy to do anything about it

[Metadog]

anyone remember that techno classic "break the system down"?

what a bang on sentiment there!!

i don't see anything else ever working - whether that would is doubtful too - it would have to be a spiritual revolution to properly make a difference



:love: :love: :love:

[dan the acid man]

yeah i remember that tune, was always a favourite hearing that at the arches

[rowland the bastard]

**** me dont you lot ever keep to the subject???? lol!

The average person does a give a **** about anything other tha their DVD player. When you do join a political party there can be loads of tossers. Giving up is the worst choice of all and the reason we are where we are today. Public disobedience and political awareness in this state must = anarchy which is our only chance to sort all this shite out.If everyone understood how hard we are being f*cked at th moment that would riot...unless who wants to be a millionaire is on.

[dan the acid man]

well i dont think you have, whats this got to do with a dj poll

[Metadog]

lol - i like what you've been saying dubs, but i gotta agree with dan

:lol:

[dubs]

DJ polls.......Political apathy.....these things go hand in hand don't they?? Maybe it was a moment of clarity or maybe i was totally replying to the wrong post. You'll have to excuse me. :crackup:

oh right, a bit deep for a dj poll :lol: :oops:

[Centurian]

Que se ra, se ra, whatever will be will be.

I don't see tha point in all these popularity contests, if someones good at what they do they don't need a poll to prove it, all it does is bump up the DJs riders/make them able to raise their performance fees. There's probably not really that much accuracy to the poll either, it's all about marketing and being able to play commercially accessable music if you ask me, more to do with management skills & publicity imo. then again, i could be wrong.

I suggest a complete boycott!

:hmm: wonder what would happen if absolutely no-one voted at all.
