They either said I can't be arsed to vote or claimed it was too complicated for them and therefore they would vote the way they always do (both labour & tory).
Too complicated all you gotta do is put a flaming cross in a box and put it in another box

Re: Manchester Arena

As a UKIP supporter I had to vote for the better option, henceforth my vote went to the Tories, anything to keep labour out of power and away from the treasury

Nope not complicated at all, it was devised with a cross so that even the illiterate could vote, unfortunately there seem to be many that can't even live up to that standard, (perhaps because they are used to others doing the work for them?)

It's not an age thing, many young folk take voting very seriously, as do some folk all the way across the age range, unfortunately we all get bored to death by the complainers of all ages that moan no matter which party runs the country until a day like today, suddenly although they still complain their whining becomes, 'why should I vote, it makes no difference', of course their not voting makes a difference and if they actually got off their backsides and voted it might even make a big difference.

No matter what your age, no matter whom it was you voted for, at least if you make the effort to go to the polling booth and make a cross you are working for your and other peoples future, you can complain about the outcome with a clear conscience.

Re: Manchester Arena

So what they are saying is much like the remoaners...they only like democracy if the vote goes their way.
If it doesn't they will chuck their toys out of the pram...very mature, very grown up.
They don't agree with the majority of the electorate, so they will work to undermine a duly elected government.
Well, let's see what happens.
Maybe the incoming government (if Tory)will pass legislation to deter civil unrest, strikes and the like.
The days of strikes are long past.
People do not want to lose money participating in useless strikes.Strikes which will do nothing to further their cause.
In the long run they cannot see that this will wreck THEIR future...businesses will fold, jobs will go and it will be due to the short sighted stupidity of these morons.

Re: Manchester Arena

Looking like a hung parliament only way Tories will get majority is if they form a coalition with the DUP

Re: Manchester Arena

Getting back to the theme, British Military veterans marched today through London to demand action against "Muslim terrorism", looking at the MSM, Al Beeb, is significantly "AWOL" in so far as reporting the event ..... no surprise there then!
