An individual's vote has no value. It changes nothing, it is worth about 1:40,000,000.
There is no such thing as the power of the vote. There is the power of everyone voting. However that is only true if there are 2 or more things worth voting for.
As far as I can see, for the last 20 years there hasn't been ONE thing (party) worth voting for. That makes voting a waste of my time and the counter's efforts.
Yes, government affects me, but NO I have no influence over HOW it affects me.
i disagree flower,
house prices will fall
rent's will probably come down but be no more affordable because everyone will have less money
there will be a shortage of some foodstuffs and energies because of a breakdown in the supply chain and a general breakdown in trade. as the lack of available credit to importers and shipping companies take effect on an already squeezed industry, like the car industry, in the interests of national security (too big to fail) shipping companies will be asking for bailouts. you read it here first.
as the dollar and pound fall in value, so the price of gold will travel to the moon, then again, we dont need to worry about that, never liked the taste of it anyway.
theft from allotments will go up, demand for bmw's audi's merc's and jags will go down so not everything will go up !
flower, are you growin us sum sprouts to fart at christmas ?
oh and i forgot again, silly me.
base interest rate's will not rise. if they did in the foreseeable future, the economy would collapse.
...I will, I'll put clean pants on and everything!

Not sure where you got all this from? And not sure there are very many economists around the world who would agree with you either.

This is why voting should be mandatory....In the 2005 general election only 27 million out of a potential 44 million voters gave enough of a damn about the nature of their society to get of their arses and vote.

The British public got the government it deserved and will continue to do so until they get off their apathetic backsides and do something about it...perhaps just perhaps mandatory voting would give them the kick they so obviously need.
In answer Flower YOU wont change anything WE can change anything.
I do apologise that should be FOXY not Flower I didn't answer your question did I
too hot and flower.....plenty around the world but the financial interests media's never gave them coverage because they knew that their puppets in government's around the world would underight their ball's up's with tax payer's money, thereby encouraging risk....too big too fail. the banksters should be arrested and the dept they have created repudiated. it's their dept not ours. the people have been robbed of the fruits of their labour's and are just realising they've been f$£ked. and if they dont know now, they soon will !

Economists live in a theoretical world NOT in the real world ......

My daughter is doing a degree in economics
at uni and told me 18 months ago when I was looking at my mortgage to get a tracker mortgage as economists thought the interest rate would go down she even found it for me, a 3 year tracker. I now have an interest rate of 0.9% and every month is christmas...........hows that for not living in the real world........... :kick:
Maybe it should be law to vote?
Well it seems the Tories are going to target those on incapacity benefit.
We are the healthiest we have ever been in history, yet some 2.4 million are on this benefit. Something in the figures do not add up.
If there are people on this who can work, and it sems there are plenty, then it gets my vote to get those who can work...back into work. I bet there are a few shakey people out there now.

What would that change? The disaffected would only spoil their paper :shock:
There was talk about having polling stations in branches of Tesco
(alongside the pork counter I think).
What will change if you (and others who are thinking the same as you right now)dont vote ?

Maybe it should be law for politicians to do what they say they are going to do .....
That would get my vote ..
And if they don't...
Off with their heads!! :lol2:

Yeah yeah I know !! rolleyes
I think making voting compulsorary would be an excellent idea as long as each ballot paper came with a list of the lies each candidate had told over the previous term and a list of the manifesto promises that had been broken by their party .........

Box that said none of the above wink
