Correct.

Research on voting attitudes in open democracies shows that ordinary people really don't care when life is stable and they do not see any big reason to vote for change. So they don't bother. That decision is essentially a vote for the status quo. So the 1 million people who didn't bother (including my uber-relaxed son) said they could care less and we should respect their decision.

Yes, there are a small percentage who feel disenfranchised, who don't believe in politics, and think their vote is pointless.

That small group never reflect upon the price paid by earlier generations some of whom died trying to get the right to vote. Emily Wilding Davison - dead.

The old

line.

That's like saying the ones who came back and worked on the big power projects did it so it could be sold off by some government who are only caretakers of the states assets.

I didn't vote, so I must be happy with the Status Quo.

I got off my arse a couple of times, when Labour got in in 1984, I went overseas for 7 years.

I have reflected on wars, old men in suits sending young men off to die and large corporations making lots of money.

But seriously mash, the only evidence I need to know you are mentally deficient is that you actually fully believe you are so right & correct & all infidels that dare challenge your warped logic must be crushed. This is amply demonstrated in open forum, plus the twenty odd aggressive & abusive red reps you have given me simply by engaging with you on forum, which don't bother me in the least, as they come from a mind that insist quite right (not really your fault to be fair).
I once knew a kiwi girl that truly & genuinely believed that she was Running Bear or some such, a red Indian girl from teepee land. Nothing anyone could do or say would convince her otherwise & of course, she was actually clinically a nut bar. Your way of thinking really reminds me of that.
I actually only come on here to take the piss & send people like you angry & red in the face for my own amusement between jobs as it gives me something to look forward to at the end of a job, it's fantastic how we'll it works.

Seriously huh. In which case I'll answer you seriously, bwaaaaaaaaaa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaa... if by angry red in the face you mean heading to the lav in a doubled up fashion trying not to wee all over the couch, then yeah, you're damned good at it. The kids are often asking what I'm laughing at, but it'll be a couple of years yet before they're old enough to come on here to laugh at you too. I hope you're better with kids than you are with women, even if you used to be one. I must try to dredge that thread for the newbies to have a read as it was quite moving. Did you keep the vagina in the end? It looks as though you did.
