Guest guest Posted April 29, 2001 Report Share Posted April 29, 2001 I was so pleased when Tony Blair brought the anti fox hunting issue to the House of Commons and that it won the majority of votes. However, when it went to the Lords it was pushed out. Why do we vote for MPs if at the end of the day the "Lords" have the final say? Big sigh!!! With the forthcoming elections coming up, could someone in the UK please give me their knowledge of the best (if any!!!) party to vote for?

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2001 Report Share Posted May 2, 2001 I'll be voting (for the first time) for which ever group, which. 1. Isn't Labour (tuition fees) 2. Isn't Conservative (effed up generally) 3. Has a hybrid PR (proportional representation) system in the Manifesto. 4. Has something in their manifesto that improves AR/AW. PR rules! but not pure PR. I.E. how can the government rule even though they were in the minority (conservatives). IE Most Labour voters would have Lib Dems as their 2nd choice, not the conservatives. Most Lib dems would rather vote labour than see the conservatives get in. Spot the aussie. PS I think you should all be fined like in Auz if you can't be bothered to vote. As the fines, finance the wining party, most people will vote, and if you don't want to vote, go to the poles and do a "donkey vote", not that you could without PR.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2001 Report Share Posted May 3, 2001 That's the kind of comment I'd expect from one of the most un-democratic societies in the western world. I know, why don't we just leave the voting to the house of lords, better yet, lets hand the " democratic " process over to the queen. You're not being forced to vote, you're being forced to get you lazy pucker down to the polling station, or else make a compulsory donation (fine) to a political party who you'd probably rather kill and eat. Why is it that ridiculous? By that reasoning forcing people to obey speed limitations is " ridiculous " . We live in a society, one that allows it's members not to vote is no different to one that has no road rules. It's there for everyone's benefit. A lot of things are " ridiculous " , but when people have to pay up, they'd rather be ridiculous. Wouldn't you? Then we'd have real stats from the polls, % of people who didn't vote (too rich), % of people who really didn't care about politics (donkey vote) and the vast majority who want a say in it. Britain needs to grow up (in a political sense). mr big [pervyempire] 03 May 2001 12:17 vegan-network Re: Politics Forcing people to vote is ridiculous...I expect more from you Rowan/Angie than this nonsense.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2001 Report Share Posted May 4, 2001 For fooks sake, I'm not advocating forcing people to vote. What I am advocating is to get off their lazy puckers and go to a polling station. Okay Mr disillusioned (I don't blame you), perhaps you don't vote out of genuine disillusionment, but I bet the vast majority of lack of turn out is just " can't be bothered " people. As for the comment about Veganism, last time I checked, Australia was a country of meat guzzling people, they force people to poll. Fair go mate!

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2001 Report Share Posted May 14, 2001 Hey another female-male trait. Judgement of speed and distance, location of sounds. I've never seen a male driver not take a safe opportunity to turn across traffic. I've seen countless woman not able to judge the speed and distance of oncoming cars, while turning across traffic. Having said that females are better at doing a multitude of things at once, which is just too much for our single focused male brain. My one most annoying thing is car insurance. Like the F & M hypocrisy, there are simply more men driving on the road. 84% of males hold licences, while 50% of females hold licences. Of those, coupled people- the man drives most of the time. The result.. Men have more crashes than woman. Predictable. What's rubbish science is stating men are worse drivers than women. Any excuse to put the insurance up. The latest one being smoking.
