Love that it’s ok to take the piss out of the younger generations but hoping a few Tory voters won’t manage to fight the wind and the rain is nasty ffs
It's snowing where I am right now. Only the hardened Plaid Cymru fans will be venturing out in this.

I jest a bit about them getting out of bed, but let's face it were any of us interested in the slightest in politics when we were young? Now there are far more distractions.
This is why I have no idea what possesses anyone to think 16 year olds should be given the vote.
They shouldn't even be allowed to carry a plate of biscuits.

Well ill be honest , just been out to vote labour, jezza is not really my cup of tea but i couldnt vote for doris and his austerity, zero hours contracts and more foodbanks shit , which i think if he gets a sizable majority will really ramp up.
I'm the same. I might have considered voting Lib Dems if it wasn't for the bonkers stop Brexit stance.

Or still clearing up the shite left by the last labour government.

but surely it's something we should aim for isn't it?
But not enough of us are convinced of it are we? And the majority of people once they own their own home or earn a certain level of income seem to change their attitude from idealistic to currently reality to protect what they have.

Now, here's a question, do we all vote what is best for us as an individual, or do what we vote for what we feel is best for the country, even though it could be to detriment of own individual circumstances?

I own my own home, have a certain level of income, (though doesn't that apply to everyone?), but would love a society similar to the ones Shmmeee refers to.
It's not idealistic, it's totally selfish, sacrifice some monetary wealth for healthier, happier life style for myself and my family - no brainer as far as I'm concerned.

Most people wont even consider it. They will vote for who they've always voted for.. thinking it's the best option, whatever policies the party has.

We don't ALL do anything except live, breathe & die.

My previous post sums it up I think. Once we have personal comitments/responsibilities like kids to look after is the obvious one...we tend to become what is going to place us in a better position to provide the best we possibly can for them. The more general social responsibility diminishes & efforts in that direction to most people becomes relatively token.

But YOU aren't enough to change the majority who think more inwardly. It doesn't mean you're wrong. Just personal conscience is different

As I’ve already said if I wanted to vote selfishly I’d vote Labour

Maybe, but I feel it has become a lot more mudded these days and there isn't the stark difference that there perhaps used to be between the parties. Labour - working class and the poor, Conservative - Middle to upper class and the rich.

Sometimes I think it is hard to know what Labour and the Lib Dems stand for and I am not just talking about now under Corbyn. Blair's New Labour mudded the waters for sure.

Bang on same with me. And for the rest of my family. It comes down to the core values you were brought up with.

The modern times more people are materialist and inherently selfish.

perhaps marriage should be banned and everyone should be allowed to fuck everyone else. That way we'd all be related, and have a vested interest in looking after each other.

Oh now I'm prepared to turn a blind eye to this as long as they're walking in my direction.

Oh my God. , Eventually you'd start growing extra fingers and toes all over the place. Where are you going to buy shoes and gloves to fit ?
