    me- wasted votes and people too thick to use them

    i voted for the first time in my life, but i nearly lost paper with my number, and didn't know where to go because i've lost paper telling me where i should vote. but all in all i used my brains and asked for help when i wasn't certain about somethings, and that's how i got through voting. there is nothing difficult about it, it's just people not giving a shit, if someone gives a shit about something they'll find the way out.

    hehe, yep. i agree with everything you said in here. but honestly why did people vote for the same stale parties? couldn't they be at least more adventurous, and vote for LibDems instead? i've not even talking about those not very famous parties like GreenParty....

    those pricks, didn't they see shows with Boris Johnson, that idiot is going to fuck up this city and make mistakes.....i can just see it coming. He is a liar, he is a middleclass, and has he ever done any jobs that involved responsibility? no...besides being just a damn journalist. God even the way he talks annoys me, it's so fucking posh.

    oh, yeah and i did vote.

    Wow... a fuckload of generalisations there. Nice.

    You don't like him because he's:

    posh
    has an annoying way of talking
    a liar
    'a' middle class (Is he a liar because he's middle class or is there more to it? Are middle class people liars?)
    a journalist - with no responsibility (Are you sure journalists have no responsibility? Really?)

    No offense to genie but I couldn't agree more with what harmless just said there.

    I'd never vote LibDem though, I'd rather go for the conservative party.

    A sense socio-political duty forbids me from casting an idiot-vote, thus, I don't obscure the the vote of admirable, thinking citizens such as yourself.
    Aristotle wouldn't want me muddling the count either.

    stop being an eejit, my point is perfectly valid

    my point was not about the politically uninformed casting a vote, but about those who either refuse to vote as its "too complicated" or those who somehow can't manage to get it right.

    your sarcasm is rather amusing though

    so? do you think it bothers me? i ain't bovvered :D see, face, bovveredd!

    yes i do generalise. and no i didn't mean to say middle class were liars, but Boris is.
    What's so responsible about writing in the damn newspaper? talk to me when you find out that he held jobs like: police commander ;), or bank manager or any other job which requires decision making skills

    Usually i wouldn't vote for LibDems either, and just like yourself i'd go for conservative party BUT if conservative party has an idiot who is going to run and make decisions for London, than i'd rather vote for LibDems who appointed great candidate Brian Paddock who i think was very sharp and deserved a chance.

    Journalism is largely responsible for challenging, shaping and potentially changing the minds of the entire nation, politically, socially, creatively or spiritually. That's quite a responsibility right there. I've never had a policeman or a bank manager change or influence my mind on anything.

    Journalism is creative work, if someone makes mistake it's not as catastrophic as with banks, or policework, or government work.
    For a starters he is mad for wanting to bring back old busses to London, if he want's to keep English tradition then he should look for it elsewhere, like celebrating St. George's day in Trafalgar sq, but for god's sake don't bring back something useless and outdated.

    Boris will have to decide lots of issues which require thinking and putting his ass on the line, like transport, housing, and policing and those decisions are nothing compared to what he used to do previously. I will have the last laugh when Boris fucks up, which is a likely thing, unless someone else from conservative party is going to secretly do all the work for him.

    and another thing i want to add, yes policeman will never influence you however if they mistake your identity for a terrorist then you might find yourself dead one day.
    bank manager won't influence you either, however they will be deciding whether to lend you money or not.

    so don't underestimate the work those people do.

    Oh don't get me wrong, I don't underestimate the work anybody does... whether that be policemen, bank managers, or journalists. Your points are exrtremely valid - but so are mine. You're obviously quite knowledgable about the issues because you read the newspaper and watch the news. Guess who puts your news on a plate? Journalists. And depending on how they spin that news, that'll be what creates your views. You think you came to them all on your own? Doubt it. ;)

    valid point, so therefore Boris being a journalist that he is, will be able to propose ridiculous invention and will be able to get away with it because we are all going to be influenced by his power of speech :D:p

    I never said you were wrong.. I don't know anything about this guy, or anyone else for that matter.. just that you can't judge people by the criteria you initially gave. That's my only beef.

    Mmmmm.... beef. ;)

    I think I'm warming to Boris a little? Just read a transcript of his first speech as mayor, at the weekend. He will not take any dissent or unsupportive behaviour from officials at City Hall, "If there are any dogs in the manger, then I will have those dogs humanely uthanased!"
    Go for it Boris, give this man an army, nukes, anything he wants, he'll get the job done Boris! Boris! Boris! Boris! Ha Ha ha!
