Miscellaneous Thread Part II

china though...
So many chinese people..

Don't get me wrong, I can be a bit of a nerd too with some of my interests, but I am not THAT bad. Kids who think they are the next Marx or something and have some left wing chip on their shoulders .

Some of these student ''activists'' are hilarious. I remember when Thatcher died and there were loads of negative posts celebrating her death, how bad she was etc. Most of them couldn't name any of her policies without using Google, was brilliant seeing a few Tory supporters on my FB completely calling everyone out.

They are. In general aswel, people seem to go on about politics when they know absolutely nothing about it. I remember the days when my politics teacher used to rant about how many "experts" argue when the know **** all.

& you still get some people who rekon the age of voting should be lowered to 16 pahahaha.

I think it would make more sense to put it up to 21.

Pahahahahaha

Oh that old argument Youth turnout is low enough as it is and most 16 year olds probably couldn't name a single party policy.

Yh the hype with voting for lib dem last election yet no one knew why

Had that first really good TV debate and everyone was jizzing over them.

lol how they pretty much lost an entire generation of voters because they went back on their word on tuition fees. An MP near my old school at the time came in and did a big talk about how he wanted to keep the fees down - then was one of the most vocal MP's in support of raising it to 9 grand.

Funny how so many people disregard the Lib Dems just because of this one policy which they couldn't do much about, only for these people to then go on to vote for either Labour or the Tories, despite them being the ones in favour of fees in the first place. Logic.

Yeah I don't really care about Politics, I would just vote to stop extremist parties going into power and destroying the country.

Young people are an easy target because they don't vote. There's a reason why the Tories have ring fenced universal benefits for pensioners throughout this Parliament, it's not out of the kindness of their hearts it's because they're the most likely group to go and vote.

Voter apathy is at a record high, and our voting system doesn't help with this. With FPTP, anyone who doesn't like the current Government only has one realistic alternative - a party with an unelectable leader who will get the country into heaps more debt and **** up the economy, leaving a mess for someone else to clean up. Unless you live in a key marginal seat, your vote really doesn't make much of a difference. Unfortunately if thousands of people take this view... yeh you see where i'm going here.
