[quote="Mark"]Great game of rugby league. Fantastic atmosphere, Wigan were breathtaking and dominant in all areas for the first 25 minutes, coupled with us making alot of dumb mistakes,then fortunately they brought McIlorum on which helped us back into the game. I thought some of the tries we scored to get us within two we're out of this world stuff. Towards the end we had to force it a little and we had a few things go wrong, i.e Monas kick on the first for King and Solomona going off who was causing havoc. Wigan were clinical in their eventual execution of us. Proud of Wire today and gave us a little glimpse to the future. Silverwood was awful as per, but I expect no less. Tomkins is a world class player and by far the best english player in SL. Wigan are a champion side and would be a worthy winner of taking our title as challenge cup. Good luck over the next month and a bit.[/quote]

I'm guessing you didn't read the manifestos of any of the parties.
I'd also say that most people didn't know what policies the parties were standing on.
I'd be even more confident in saying that most people only consider there to be three parties when it comes to elections.
If people did a bit of research I'm sure they'd find a party that represented their own personal views. It's pure laziness and apathy to say 'All politicians are bent, therefore I'm bnot going to vote.'
The BNP winning a seat isnt a worry, them now being in the mainstream will expose them for what they are and they will hopefully collaspe under this scrunity/exposure.

I would like to think that you are right. However looking at the "calibre" of their voters on the telly I feel that things will get worse in the short term.

I respect the fact that people have the right not to vote but it nevertheless staggers me that so few people actually do. When you consider how many people willingly pick up the phone every Saturday night and vote for stuff like Strictly Come Dancing, Big Brother and The X Factor, I can't believe that such a small proportion of those exercise their right to vote for people who will actually can and will make a difference to their lives.
I can't remember any occasion since I turned 18 where I've not voted; especially since moving to Wigan, where every vote counts for my particular party of choice. Just voting at all has only been a privilege we women have enjoyed for the last century or so, and throughout history people have given their lives to enable me to do so. The least I can do is return my ballot paper.

What's your alternative then? Either we exercise our votes and elect a governing body (whether by voting for candidates whose policies/personalities we can associate with or by standing ourselves if we can't find one that suits us) or we don't have a vote at all and end up like North Korea or something.
By not voting, all you've done is remain non-commital to your 'they all **** us over anyway' standpoint by not electing an alternative. You have essentially just allowed it to happen/allowed whoever it is to 'get away' with it.
