well, from my experience with this one, who can do the most harm in the shortest amount of time? vote for whoever can beat them

5:06 pm

pippingeek

at least you got boris out already (did you? I've been involved with family drama and news has gotten lost)

5:06 pm

cybernan

exactly what I did!

It's easy to sneer at other countries.

5:07 pm

cybernan

I just keep hoping for better candidates in the next round -- and if we get a minority government, that may not be too far off.

5:09 pm

MollyL

And a comeuppance is often inevitable when you do that sneering.

5:09 pm

Deeha

trouble is we have no one to vote for. \the toeries are all in-fighting, Labour are weak nonenities and Lb Democrats are rapidly disappearing up their own ballot boxes. The only one left must be Thge Monster Raving Loonies!

5:10 pm

MollyL

It seems like the problem in most countries is that real people with real values don't have the funds to mount a drive for election.

Deeha

Maybe politicians now have such a bad reputation no decent person wants to be associated with hem

5:14 pm

Deeha

down to 18. Think thats as close as I am going to get. Bed time! Good night all

5:18 pm

cybernan

I don't think that is the problem here -- there is a cap on what candidates can spend and our campaign period is only 36-50 days long. I think the question is why would anyone volunteer to apply for a job where they would constantly be criticized everytime they sneeze and be slandered every day by the paparazzi when they could earn at least 3 times the income and have twice as much holiday time, not to mention personal privacy as the CE0 of any decent sized company?

5:19 pm

cybernan

Probably the reason most politicians are egomaniacs
