NEW PM

[VNA]

be happy you get your 10 seconds of democracy when you actually put the cross on the person you want to vote for, then it's Fook off for another 5 years as the winner will do exactly what his or her party wants them to do & say--so suck it up.

Oldgit, Which of course why we are in the mess that we are in.  That is because so many people think what you have just stated is what democracy is.  Their only interaction with democracy, as you say, is on polling day.

Democracy, is of course up to us, as indeed it is up to us how much we engage with it and influence it.

And the end of the day, the people will get the government they deserve.
