General election

And that's the reality of it. You have to tone yourself down and tow the line enough not to totally scare off enough of your electorate which is I suppose why most parties in power the last 25 years are really only ever just slightly one side of central. same thing different colours.

Left and Right are outdated terms really. Just slurs that people throw at each other these days it seems. A bit like the word 'Liberal' has been weaponised by the Americans. You can have Left wing views without being 'Woke' and you can have Right wing views without being a Racist. I certainly have views on both sides of the 'spectrum' but would hate to be labelled woke OR racist! Too many twats around sticking labels on things. Too many Twats full stop. Beginning to think that Voting should be a privilege not a right....

I like this Voting Concept. Its an old Nevil Shute Novel and also something else I think. Basically like this, or a variation of this.


A tiered voting system allowing citizens to accumulate up to five votes based on specific criteria:

Citizenship: Every citizen starts with one vote.

Land Ownership: Owning a certain amount of land grants an additional vote.

Military Service: Completing a term of military service earns another vote.

Educational or Public Service: Attaining a specified level of education or holding public office.

Legislative Award / National Hero Recognition – The fifth vote is discretionary and can be granted by the legislature for outstanding contributions

This system is designed to reward citizens who contribute to society in various meaningful ways, reflecting values of service, education, and civic responsibility.

In reality the "newcomers" are well organised and this shows in the vote...aka Gorton, London and NewYork
Apathy is a very dangerous thing.
