thats the same as choosing the lesser of 2 evils right?
making a choice based on which you hate (or will do the least amount of damage to you/society) the least is no choice at all mate...you should know that
It's not a choice mate, I was lucky enough to be born in a Democracy, and for all it's many many flaws Im very glad I did given the alternatives.
But essentially YES IMO it is the best of many bad options since no-one has yet found a perfect way to rule or govern a nation.
i just cant agree with that kind of mentality mate. whats wrong is wrong and voting for whatever or whoever simply because you dislike them a little less than the opposition is not a vote or choice...its hit and hope mentality praying you've made the right choice.
I never said I voted, I havent voted in over a decade as the only political parties the current system gives a chance at of power are IMO bad compromises, and there is no party that represents my views or I trust enough to vote for.
In the UK we have 2 main parties, a 3rd party which in the past has had no chance of getting power on their own but has formed a couple of coalitions to get their say, and several small no-hoper parties. It's pretty much been a 2 party system for the last century, but in the last election the 2 main parties both got so few votes that due to voter apathy and disillusionment that the 3rd party was needed in coalition to form a majority government.
IMO we got the best option this time around, even though the coalition was formed after the election so is wasnt an option anyone voted for. So much for democracy
