I mean no wonder people cannot/will not vote. If it were a simple thing where one candidate stood for reason, the other insanity then it would be easy to cast a vote, but the politicians mostly agree as would any intelligent person as to which course of action should be taken towards any issue. A voter therefore can only vote for their own personal gains - achievement for themselves, not a world-wide better future. If there is to be a rise in tax on cars, and I own a car, then I will vote the opposition; if I do not own a car then I’m all for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-38626268104800664162010-03-14T19:30:20.772+00:002010-03-14T19:30:20.772+00:00As there is no pulse in these parts to speak of, t...As there is no pulse in these parts to speak of, that probably explains why Flaig's blog is so terminally dull.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-474460252615364292010-03-14T16:35:00.412+00:002010-03-14T16:35:00.412+00:00I find Tony Flaigs Blog much more intersting now,H...I find Tony Flaigs Blog much more intersting now,He has always had his finger on the pulse regarding Thanet/Margate, with the election due on May the 6th, I for one will be reading his pages with interest so that I can make my mind up,what he says makes a lot of sense, I think he has found a convert.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-13734919454354351442010-03-14T15:19:59.402+00:002010-03-14T15:19:59.402+00:00No worries there 15.16 I am pretty certain that I ...No worries there 15.16 I am pretty certain that I will be a floating voter for the foreseeable future, this is much more about trying to throw a few ideas about and see if any other people have some that would help make up my mind about the situation.Michael Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499435016469020417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-39875404455851686612010-03-14T15:16:21.018+00:002010-03-14T15:16:21.018+00:00Michael, I do hope you don't go down the "...Michael, I do hope you don't go down the "party political" route as Tony Flaig has on his Big News Margate blog!
