hi everyone smile

not sure if this right place 2 post this confused

but would love someones oppinion smile

not sure how 2 really say this but here goes i was just reading bailiffs thread & it started me thinking about politics!!! we've just had a general election and yet again i didnt vote basically cuz i can c no real difference between any of the partys i have no confidence in any of them they all give with 1 hand & take with the other!!!
getting back 2 the point & the advice i need & hope i can get is i would vote if there was another box 2 put my X in & that box would b "no confidence in any party"
is this just my overimaginative head doing overtime or would anybody else put there X in such a box i would love yr oppinion and/or advice on how 2 get such an idea off the ground smile

it's easy! you just scribble NOTA ((( None Of The Above ))) all over the ballot sheet. your vote gets added to the spoiled papers, which ain't a particularly good way of expressing your disgust admittedly, but least you can say you voted, without giving your support to the same old same old nonsense.

i see yr point about spoilt papers neil but they would just be discarded if half the population said we have no confidence in our government they gotta sit up & take notice aint they!!! confused

Or, you could take a tip from holywood, set up a party called 'none of the above' and stand yourself in the election.

Or you could get totally pissed off with the lot of them like me. It really grates when someone from whatever party comes up with a good idea and everyone else opposes it just coz they're from a different party.
It's about time we had a government that puts the interests of the country first instead of just scoring political points off the opposition. Let's have a vote for putting the right man in the right job.
