mallard76 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 In pure democracy terms it is. Much akin to a government being returned/voted in on a smaller percentage of national vote. (first ;past the post)Or the compulsory wearing of cycle helmets for that matter. I think you both might be confusing democracy with freedom. Democracy is where we are ruled by our representatives elected by everyone, in simple terms. It does not mean you have to have the freedom not to vote or not to wear a helmet. Nobody lives in a really free society, even when it is deomcratic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wakeboard1980 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I know what's in the best interests of the whole nation and Tories are not and never will be. Socialism all the way. The 'whole' nation obviously doesn't agree with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bungo Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I think that everyone that puts themselves up for election has good and honest intentions. There are much easier and more profitable ways of earning a living if that were not the case. I feel sorry for Nick Clegg and the Lib Dems. They held the balance of power in 2010 and made the right and proper choice in going for the party with the most seats. This is the party that have always said they want PR and a say in government in proportion to their vote, they got it and look what happens. Seems like some didn't want that at all. I feel sorry for Ed Miliband personally, because I have no doubt that he has the best interests of the UK at heart. But I don't think he suffered because of previous Labour incumbents, he was not elected because the majority do not believe in his Marxist tax and spend ideology and doubted his ability to manage the economy in a responsible fashion.

newjez Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 The 'whole' nation obviously doesn't agree with you. I have to spit the words out, but I do think the Tories are right for now. Labour would have been a disaster. It does mean public servants will suffer more. Private health insurance is trending. Any poms in oz thinking of coming back should get a move on, as the pound will rise. But I worry about ten years time , where will we be.

ali Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Yes as I said above it was a bad choice of words but I'm sure everyone knew what I was getting at. I'm not saying anything about being anti democracy, what I was isn't compulsory voting anti democratic ? You could spoil your ballot paper once in there. I know plenty of people who list each candidate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
