Re: All The Best To You Graham

No argument from me that C'mon is rubbish at punctuation and usually goes off at a tangent halfway through a comment. My points are that maybe we should not dismiss a valid argument simply because it is poorly made using questionable copy/pastes, and... that at least he stimulates debate.

You guys are right, we all know that most current politicians are in it for themselves, and that our votes are pretty much meaningless under the current party system. So what do you guys advocate?

a) Constantly saying 'they are all bottom feeders', spoiling your vote papers or not voting at all.
b) Saying and doing nothing and allowing them to ride roughshod.
c) Slam someone who highlights issues as a trotsky who never said anything when his lot were in power.
d) Think that there is nothing you can do and wait until you die, forgotten, on a hospital trolley in a corridor, waiting for a drink of water.

To paraphrase Burke..'all that is needed for the political class to triumph is for the ordinary people to do nowt'

We should highlight their failings, show them for the liars they are ( e.g. I have personally spoken to people in XXX and many have told me that immigration is important to the economy, 95%, I will faithfully represent the people etc..etc..). We should make post after post on every form of social media reinforcing these failings.

If enough people listen and read maybe we can effect change, the alternative is to choose one of 'a, b or c' above and end up as a 'd'
