I am sick of the lot of them in government. What we need come election time is a mass disobedience with people spoiling their voting papers as a protest .

No Meg darlin' - because even if one uses their vote properly and everyone else spoils their ballot, then whoever that one person is has chosen for the remainder of the population.

UJ if every prospective MP only got a handful of votes they could hardly be described as having a mandate to run the country and there would be an outcry .

But that Meg darlin' is precisely what they would do. Given that everyone else 'failed' to vote, they could quite legitimately claim they have a mandate from those who actually voted.

Re: Saying Enough is Enough

The reason is we have not the guts to get behind those that do, example the miners, if the country had stood behind them we wouldn't have been in the mess we are in, we would still producing our own coal, and industry would have been thriving.
Now it has all been destroyed by the Tories we can't rise again, they see to that by keeping us poor.

Get behind the miners ? Arthur Scargill was the reason that all went so badly. Labour closed more pits than Tories previously and he managed almost single headedly to lead the miners into disaster.
