Re: ukip
So you have relented John and now call it compulsory voting now after all these years of telling me it is not compulsory but optional. Sorry mate but you did leave yourself open for that one with the mandatory LOL following. Personally I think the UK system is better simply because when the government of the day is so on the nose that more voters turn out to kick the buggers out of office. Mind you both systems have there good points and bad points the main bad point is that you know you are going to end up being screwed in the end by the system. Bet there is a load of crap coming out trying to denigrate UKIP as there is here with our rabble now trying to change how the senate is elected to make it harder next time for the Palmer party and other small parties to get elected into the senate. Just take a look around the world at how the mighty democratic country's have gone in and stuffed up other countries over the years under the guise of liberating them. I do not think that we have a democratic system as it was supposed to be at the start but more of a dictactorship with the ony choice of electing a different leader each time and they treat us all like bloody sheep and we have allowed this to happen. The basic principle in my book is that they are supposed to be answerable to us not dictating what or how we should live our lives. They have lost their way and it is going to take a bloody big change in the system even if it is the wrong one but one that will purge out all the self interest and corruption so that our grand kids have a chance to regain what we once had.
That's the way the mop flops.
