Yep I know, but I made a sweeping statement that is pretty correct.

Referendums (referendi?) are just as bad as well. People voting on stuff they really don't understand.

So what you are saying is everyone living in council accommodation is "trash, a fukwit and thick"
I find that so offensive. I have never lived in council accommodation but that certainly doesn't make me a better person than those that do.

Clearly not everyone in council estates. just alot compared to other cohorts in society. No one mentioned about being a better person.
If that offends you then so be it.

yes, nowt wrong with that statement. It's the same as saying don't make all stupid people who live on council estates vote, or don't make all the rich upper class twits votes.
Both of which are not saying ALL upper class people are twits OR all council estate people are stupid.

Political parties will never change the first past the post system, they have spend the last 50 years fixing the constituancy boundaries so that the vast majority of seats are safe for the respective party and then they really only need to campaign in the 40 seats that are marginals, and then you only need to target 3% of swing voters, who will actually decide the result of the election. This means that UK general election are actually decided by about 85,000 people and the rest may as well stay at home.

There is another potential voting system - Range Voting (

)
You rate the candidates from 0-9, as many or as few as you have an opinion on. Highest mean average score wins.

A victory for Proportional Representation
BNP wins seat in London Assembly
Although this one seat out of 25 on the London Assembly, so it is unlikely to influence much, transfer that to several hundred seats being contested in a General Election and a far right coalition could be an influential group in a hung parliament.
Apart from the statistical arguments which mean that any proportional representation system doesn't deliver a proportionally represented government - the more basic truism is that there are far too many stupid people voting - and using the First past the Post system is the best way of ensuring that their stupidity gets negated.

Yes anyone in this country who's basically a fukwit / thick, not able to think for themselves (believing paper headlines as gospel), making them all vote would be badddddddddddd. Whatever side the papers took that month would get them elected.
It's really worrying how little the normal person on the street comprehends the issues beyond the headlines.
Is this what you teach the kids? Have you ever spoke to someone who lives on a council estate or have you always been a bit nervous about it? Just take a deep breath and go out one day and actually talk to some real live council estate people. You never know, it might just surprise you................................I don't even think you need to pay into some council estates these days and I think some companies are doing open top bus runs. Just hop on and see where it takes you and while you are there see what some of the people think about your sweeping statements..............

the only way a party like bnp gains support is when a country is in chaos,i dont think its stupidity what makes some people vote for the bnp, a lot is about desperation,i would never support a party like bnp but if people feel abandoned with no help or sympathy they will start supporting extremist partys,

I was born and bread in Little London Leeds, most probs the shitest council estate crap hole in Leeds, we got out. Lucky my parents had something about them and worked their asses off to make something for themselves. What dont you like about my post? the fact that most people in this country are pretty stupid and cant think for themselves? wow shocking. I said the people on a council estates who are thick and stupid, not all people from them.......huge diff.
I taught my students to take everyone at face value and to do their best in life whatever anyone said to them. But I would always tell them the truth and not hide stuff that wasnt politically correct to state.

No most people are not pretty stupid.......and teaching students to value everyone at is a good way to go, starting with the fact that most people are valuable and not thick or pretty stupid:)
