Something is either worthwhile or its not. Voting is no longer worthwhile and politicians are even less useful than fish food now. Ive given up caring. I dont watch TV or read papers or listen to conventional radio. Its a waste of time. Better to get on with life expecting zero from the government at any level and therefore find nothing to disappoint you. If you have the ability to run private health insurance you are all set and have even less to worry about.

This is the truth ive come to recognise and ive made my peace with it.
So you will not work for government health care then ? Otherwise I would find it very surprising that you wouldn’t care whom your employers are going to be.

I am hoping to work for the NHS. I have no care in the world what government of the day is now or in the future. If I was mostly concerned about a career with excellent pay and conditions Id be a train driver.

Im a workaholic who doesnt really do holidays and I dont recall a time I ever did a 45 hour week except when I was in an office job. Weekends, evenings on call etc- I bet I dont end up doing as many hours as I did crop walking. Walk all day come home and sit and do recs for hours after tea.

I tend to agree but a vote needs to be cast as if comrade c gets in we will see just how bad they actually can be , a few bad decisions and uk reduced to 3rd word in weeks

It's a sad reflection on how bad the other 2 main parties are. As said above i have always voted conservative but cannot bring myself to vote for Boris.
But you're not voting for Boris, you are voting for your MP and Boris won't always be the leader, why would you risk letting any of the other parties in, just because you don't like the leader, who will always be replaced eventually?
 
I dunno but if you lot dont stop voting yellow I may well be forced to convert to Marxism.

Voting Lib Dem: probably the same folks who always got picked last for the teams at football. I mean why bother voting. Save your time and have a pint instead.
I'll have you know that I captained the winning team in the local junior gala 5-a-side tournament as a lad and I will vote Lib Dem. So there :p

I do not agree. Local mp cannot influence party manifesto which is what people should consider.
It is Boris who is driving the policies. I find him repulsive. If he is the best that the party has to offer they will not get my vote.
My vote has always been irrelevant as always voted in a Labour stronghold.
I made my mind up when Boris was elected to vote Libdem and will stay with that.
Not necessarily in favour of revoking article 50 however, as always there are always policies that i do not agree with. I voted for Cameron when he promised the referendum which i thought was a stupid idea.
 
Because they are 100% useless, you would be letting Corbyn in by splitting the vote even more

why ? What’s so bad about boris ?
That depends on the constituency! Vote tactically!
You could get all the labour voters around here in a very small village hall. As for a 100% useless. I would judge the coalition government as successful considering the sh!t show they inherited.
