True, but the fact is that I like being cold and wet. Why else would I spend all my spare money on boating? /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Yes, I've heard it's very good.

What you can't see, just out of shot, is that the mainsheet is attached to a noose around Gordon Brown's neck. Hence the mixture of smile, effort, and careful concentration on the face of the Dear Leader......

Vote ?!!! for any of that lot ? I'll not vote until there's a box to be ticked which says "None of the above" - don't give them the pleasure of thinking that someone's giving them a mandate to do what _they_ want.

Rant over. Anyway why has no-one posted the URL (cos I can't find the piccie on Sky) ?

You don't need a special box to tick. Just write across it 'None of the above'.

If enough people deliberately spoiled their ballot papers this way the message would get across. It would be a perfectly legitimate protest.

Hmm .. what would happen if everyone wrote that then? Abolish Parliment and get the Queen in place to rule the country?

Academic. The people complaing most are unlikely to put themselves out enough to make the protest.

What an inspiring picture. Wind in the hair, Big toothy smile, loose buoyancy aid, wearing jeans.
Picture speaks volumes

Aye, must be a politician ... not looking where he's going.

Oh please what's the point? They are ALL corrupt, self serving and dishonest. You must have heard the old truism "Don't vote the government always gets in"

Sorry, wine too early and too much. Didn't notice this was a multi page post. With this grip on reality maybe I should be a politician.

I even think Tony Blair is broadly OK (Iraq, admittedly, a spectacular own goal), and that Gordon Brown is the most competent Chancellor of the last 50 years. Plainly, this makes me very odd.

Re: Odd one out

No Bob, not that odd . . in fact, in line with beween 35 and 40 percent of UK voters.

The contempt for democracy on this forum is outstanding, but in all this dreary thread no-one has put forward a sensible alternative to TB/GB or New Labour for the next government. I assume they would all rather live in some sort of right-wing totalitarian police state* as most of them seem to have contempt for the democratic process and have indicated that they won't bother voting.

(*And please for goodness' sake don't tell me we already do - you know that's nonsense, so don't even think about saying it)
