Canadian general election today.
US presidential election soon.
every representative democracy in the world will have an election sometime.
Go out and vote!
if you don't vote or if you spoil your ballot you still voted.
You voted for whoever gets elected.
And you also gave up the right to whine about what he does while in office.
 
OK now I hope you have someone to vote for
Here it may be the Town Jester Donald or the hide the important papers Hilary
We need a King and Queen here in the US. HOME OF THE FREE BE CAME HOME OF THE JOKE. Its a shame we have tons of homeless and schools that have McDonald worker as teachers. We are going down the tubes and getting ready for WWW 4........

Hi DaddyG,
yeah and we get to choose between a glib liar, a handsome newbie and a bearded pseudo-socialist, some odds and sods of no-hopers and Elizabeth May, the single elected member of the Green Party.
Would that be teachers moonlighting at McGreasy's or burger jockeys moonlighting as schoolteachers?
And by all means feel welcome to move North but back when I used to be a Design Group Leader the younger draftsmen would tell me:-
I gotta find a new job because the bosses here are assholes.
And I had to tell them:-
Kid, I wish you every good fortune but the bosses at the new place will be assholes too.
 
My dad used to say: " Politicians are like a bunch of bananas. they all yellow, they hang together, and there isn't one straight one among them!!"

Also, he used to say you got to vote for the least evil one!:D
 
Hi wolfie,
I had just about the same conversation with my dad.
Back in the 1950s my dad and I were walking past the then newly built Bristol City council building.
3 storeys high, ~100 yards long built in a shallow arc of gold-coloured brick across College Green.
Totally suitable for it's users, dad sez; because it's yellow and bent.
 
The banana comparison is spot on Airwolfie, love it. I think we all just end up voting for the best liar though.
 
Fred, I didn't think he was that glib, but voted for his local rep anyway, (who visited me in the summer when I was working on my bike, didn't seem like a bad guy), lost my vote again!

Hi boxcar,
Compton McKenzie's The Lunatic Republic postulated a system where elected officials had to retire at age 45 to live on a fixed pension and couldn't leave the country.
