Apparently less than 60%of UK voters are expected to vote today. Universal dissatisfaction has possibly become a refusal to play.

We need a game of thrones red wedding style event to flush the system out.

@HeidiA 60% is not a bad turnout tbf

We, in the UK, should have a section on the ballot paper saying "None of the above" - rather than the childish alternatives of not turning up or spoiling one's ballot paper.

When I'm King, politicians will be held to the same standards imposed upon those in the blue light services, armed forces, pilots, shipping & traincrew, namely that lying, having undeclared vested interests, moonlighty jobs or positions on panels or company boards is gross misconduct for which the penalty is dismissal with no way back in. Really simple effective measure to clean up politics, which the Welsh government is already adopting.

The system certainly needs flushing out.

[@heidaa] 😆this will have a good turn out too rid the united kingdom of fourteen years rule by these tory twits hopefully

And who came up with that ludicrous suggestion
HeidiA · 41-45, F
@Anniedlr It’s not that ludicrous - it was only 67% in the end.
Anniedlr · 26-30, F
@HeidiA It was ludicrous as the original question referred to 60 voters in total Not 60% of voters.🙂

and yet a landslide victory, go figure
@kutee same way that trump lost the popular vote in 2016 and still won
smiler2012 · 56-60
@kutee 🤔too the pecentage who made the concerted effort too voted this is still a landslide victory of votes cast too the winning party
kutee · T
its always 40% nothing new there
60 eh? I doubt that
Yet those who refuse to vote are often the loudest screamers. My philosophy is no vote, no voice.

@NativePortlander1970 That’s more an American approach. In the U.K. there’s general discontent along the spectrum.

We vote on policies not personality’s if the party leaders.
