UK_Widowmaker 571 Posted May 7, 2014 And I'm not going to vote...because they're all criminals and scumbags. However...I'd vote for this guy!! http://themetapicture.com/the-poorest-but-coolest-president-in-the-world/ 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lexx_Luthor 57 Posted May 7, 2014 Hey that's pretty cool. they're all criminals and scumbags. Yea, but then what about the souls that vote them all in? An irrational conundrum. There is an alternative to not voting. I need to make up a I wrote in Ron Paul bumper sticker. He's was not allowed on the ballot for the last two president selections.

macelena 1,070 Posted May 7, 2014 While i´m a little bit more optimistic than you, the only reason i go out in a Sunday for voting is because my mother wakes me up as soon as the schools open, with the ballot already enclosed in the envelope. "You live in my house. You know what´s good for you". For all i cared to know, i may be voting for the "Islamist Front for the Re-Hajijization of Al-Andalus" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JediMaster 451 Posted May 8, 2014 At least you have some choices. Here all we get is blueberry-flavored corporate shill or raspberry-flavored corporate shill (but for different companies), neither of which give a damn about us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

von Baur 54 Posted May 9, 2014 One of the best commentaries on elections was the eqpisode from Blackadder the Third. Loved it. The "Standing-in-the-Back-Looking-Stupid" Party. Hi-lar-ious. I understand your elections in the UK are called, not regularly scheduled as here in the States. At least that gives some break. Here the campaigning for the next election starts pretty much as soon as the polls close, if not before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Brain32 265 Posted May 11, 2014 OK, so, what are the primary concerns going on right now in the UK? Economics? Social issues? I confess a lot of ignorance here. I think it's pretty much the same in the entire Europe, governments are over-reaching and running on tax-craze and that is smothering the economy... Socially I'd say there are problems but I'm quite conservative for European standards so I choose to evade that part to avoid this going too political...
