FPTP is wonderful, innit?
Ninja
I was initially tempted to do that, but I think the problem is a spoilt ballot would be classified as 'look at this idiot who doesn't know how to vote' rather than 'look at this person who is completely disenfranchised'.
I'd probably go and vote for the Greens if they fielded a candidate here, but they didn't last time and I doubt see why they'd bother this time.
Without wishing to go all Russell Brand I think the only way to get any sort of change in our system that is clearly broken is to not vote and cause a crisis of legitimacy.

Just put a line through all the boxes and write NONE, fairly clear that way and your non vote is still counted
Franck
Voting for a party that actually wants to reform the system strikes me as more meaningful than not voting at all, even if they won't win and are too spineless to make any change if they actually did.

I genuinely have no clue of LibDem policies - they get less coverage than UKIP and the SNP right now.
Farage doing some real heel work right now - insulting the audience.

So it took longer to bend than the iPhone 6 plus then. Less damage also which is a good sign
Ninja
Well not really, because at the end of the day it still goes in to the category of spoilt ballets. There's nothing to say why a particular ballet was spoilt and therefore its not a very useful way to show your dissatisfaction.

Ninja obviously isn't a fan of FPTP and the situations it creates. And to be frank, anyone who actually likes FPTP is either an idiot or an arsehole.
Even if the party you vote for has no chance of winning, your vote is still a validation of their policies.
King Luis
But its still counted, it shows your dissatisfaction, not voting at all doesn't show that in anyway and makes people appear like they just couldn't be bothered to vote

67% of people rejected AV. It got crushed.
Franck
A voting system isn't something that should be decided through referendum.
How many of the people who voted against AV do you think actually understood how it works?

That said, there's an assessment next Thursday, if I fail that I'm probably going to kill myself.

It was crushed by what was exposed as a Tory funded smear campaign. If anything but FPTP is in play in this country then Conservatives and Labour would finally be at risk of losing power.
Ninja
In part because of the fact if was AV though. The Tories specifically pushed for that being the PR system up for referendum for that exact reason.
A lot of people who wanted PR voted against AV because it wasn't a great system, I always thought that was self defeating but there you go.
Shola
Yep. AV lost. The electorate didn't want reform.
I find it unlikely that people who want PR or AV+ would prefer FPTP to AV. Which was the only offer on the table.
Ninja
They definitely existed, right bunch of weirdos if you ask me but there you go.

I'm pretty sure some of the older games, like FIFA 98 and such looked better on PC.
I remember sponsors being on the kits when I played as a kid and I didn't play FIFA after 99.

Haven't a clue man.
Just amazing to see how far things have come.

It probably did on the Playstation.

Possibly, I had it on PC. Had myself a excellent Lazio side too.
Sam
Definitely. FIFA 98, WC98 and 99 were much better on PC.
2000 was quite bad though, cartoony graphics. Still fun though.

Sydney's fucked.
Parts of Manly being evacuated as they think the dams about to burst.

Was it a hurricane passing through?

I wish it would pass through, the wind and rain is fucking ridiculous. Been like this since Sunday.
