The Night Thread Mk. IX

No.

No point, Tories win with such a large majority here that even if everyone one that didn't vote last time round all voted Lib Dem (2nd party) they'd still win in the area.

I voted in the AV referendum, I'll vote in the EU ones and basically anything where its not a waste of time to vote but there's no point voting in the general.

Just go and spoil your ballot paper, not voting is utterly pointless in the purest sense

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.

So yeah, decided to sit on my Sony Z3 Compact last night and completely bend the fuck outa it as well as destroy the screen! Brilliant!

Thank God I took our damage cover!

Just put a line through all the boxes and write NONE, fairly clear that way and your non vote is still counted

You seem to be assuming people in Britain want to change FPTP.

I genuinely have no clue of LibDem policies - they get less coverage than UKIP and the SNP right now.

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.

67% of people rejected AV. It got crushed.

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.

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.

I find it unlikely that people who want PR or AV+ would prefer FPTP to AV. Which was the only offer on the table.

She's come along way!!

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.

No way did FIFA 2000 look that bad, surely.

It probably did on the Playstation.
