    You need a voting system that supports multiple parties. It’s amazing we in the UK manage multiple parties at all with FPTP.

      Anything but what it is now. I mean everyone complains how people don’t vote but I can’t expect anyone in their 60/70/80 range to even comprehend what they vote for. I haven’t even hit 40 and I struggle. I don’t have the time to read every 200-400 page bill that a one sentence “summary” and the amount of research for whoever you vote for is a complete mess. I get why people can’t be bothered with voting now.

        Really??? It’s very clear Trump shouldn’t be anywhere near power. It being a binary system mean you vote for the other person, who is clearly less bad. Less bad all you get to vote for under crap voting systems. It couldn’t be clearer Trump is a wrongen.

          Pretty much. I was more focused on policies. There really should be a way to vote out politicians, but that’s just a dream; and I mean at any point.

            Vote for the least bad in the system you have and push for a better system. Just not taking part of one of the things that gives bad people power.
