*Possibly newsy but I'm not getting no article, I'm just bitching*
I may be a little wasted after the local meeting on how shit this election is.. Aside from the fact that all elections are outright rigged, they could at least try to be a little less blatant about the rigging here. See so we got two main parties- Labour the "left party" and conservatives "the right". But Labour is currently still "New Labour" which basically means "businessmen who pretend they are left-wing-ie we are lefties but we are fiscally responsible" so basically they are the conservatives. BUT OH SHIT- THERE is a third party!!!!! OMG OMG OMG! Because Britain is New Zealand in the 80s (I'll get to that ) they can recycle old elections tricks- this time the third party playing the "common sense" role. Now this is the first time in British history that there has been live televised leaders debate- which is totally suited to the common sense man because he reaffirms everybodies help believes. So the third party, the Liberal democrats, are polling well and eveyroen like DEMOCRACY SO GOOD But we're in the 80s because unlike the rest of the civilised world who got rid of First Past the Post type voting methods then, Britain has kept them. This basically means there are electroal districts, you vote for the man in your district, whoever wins the district gets the parliament seat, popular vote means nothing. So our votes are worthless. All this said, the real point of this thread is to discuss the best ways for me to spoil my ballot paper. In the past I have A) Drawn a box with "no confidence" on the sheet and ticked that B) Voted for a "Ghosts of dead iraqis" box and C) Covered the paper with pictures of Camus smoking a cigarette. I out of ideas this go around. |
