Nationwider Posted 4 May 2005 Share Posted 4 May 2005 http://www.omrlp.com 103277[/snapback] I've not read my local candidate's (Jedediah Caleb Bartimaeus Headbanger Sausage Supremo) personal pledges yet, so I'll reserve judgement. Having said this, UKIP are my constituency's 3rd party, so perhaps the lunatics are closer to running the asylum than we think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fez of Mahrez Posted 5 May 2005 Share Posted 5 May 2005 The main thing is to vote, don't worry about making an informed decision after looking into the effect that each candidate would have on your constituency or the long-term vision that each party has for the country. This country is a liberal democracy primarily so that any layabout can watch the Prime Minister on the news for thirty seconds once every six months and decide that they don't like him.

Guest Posted 5 May 2005 Share Posted 5 May 2005 I'm afraid despite the war, I'd still have him [Tony] over him: 103273[/snapback] I'm working on the basis that all politicians lie and can't be trusted, so I'm not even considering the war when voting.

Guest Posted 6 May 2005 Share Posted 6 May 2005 I disagree with lowering the voting age; for every 16 year old who is aware enough to make an informed choice on how this country is run, there will be 10 others who aren't capable of choosing what to wear let alone make an important decision like this! Having said that, there were enough people over 30 at the polling station last night who didn't seem capable either!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(i pay about £500 a year at the moment in interest.) If i wanted to do the exactly the same course starting next academic year my total student loan would be around 32k, so around £1000 interest, all thank to top-up fees, dont worry about your taxes, we students will be fooked over just like everyone else.

Does it mean your whole attitude and views change? For example at work I ain't allowed to use macheinery till i'm 18...why? When i'm 18 does it mean i'm gonna change? become all mature? will it stop me from cutting my finger off? Ok voting isn't the same and using machienry at work but its the same point i'm trying to make! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that some people below that age are mature for their age, whilst supposed adults behave like kids is irrelevant. If everyone was assessed to be considered an adult, it would take forever. Just be thankful it's now 18, it used to be 21!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
