Yes, I've noticed , quite a little left leaning forum isn't it. All about the cause not necessarily about the truth and definitely not about the consequences.

Please Angus I really wish wouldn't speak for me when you haven't got a clue what my thoughts are. Again you have no idea

But just so you are clear

Currently I wouldn't vote for either party, just simply wouldn't vote at all.

Until they show me some concrete policies that will actually result in some sort of social change for the better in this country then no political side gets my vote

I am not interested in personalities, I am interested in policies that will make this great country of ours better. 

None of the sides seem willing to do that... they talk alot but do nothing but say things that will get them elected....

Can I make it any clearer

did you get Gerry Wood's report on his trip to Canada to look into the Representative system in place in two of their territories. -Interesting reading

Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Which part of "just simply wouldn't vote at all" didn't you understand?  ::)

I wouldn't vote, you know not mark the voting paper, vote informally or just take the fine

clear?

No but I'll dig it out and have a read.  You know how much against our 3-tiered system of govt that I am so any alternative thinking will be of interest!

On the other hand, every vote given to these self serving stuffwits is a vote of confidence in them and they continue on their merry way of taking their votes for granted, treated us all with contempt and putting all their energies into bringing their opponents down to retain/regain power rather than doing what they should be, and that is representing the people and governing the country.

As long as people continue to vote for the major parties, this will only continue down this path, but then hey, its easy to just always blame the state of affairs on the party you dont barrack for and trott out leftie this or right wing that.

It is those that blindly always vote for one party that shouldn't complain.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."
