    Look at me, I'm 17 which means I'm not old enough to vote. But I'm still paying taxes.
    Isn't that taxation without representation?
    Damn tyrants!

    Actually for all I care right now the goverment can tax all they want... I don't make for them... I usually get it back in tax returns... did I mention I am only 17 with only small odd jobs here and there... now when I get a real job that will be a different story.

    We had the mayoral elections in London, they were quite a big thing because before the Lord Mayor Of London had no power, now we have a real mayor who can do stuff and is called Ken.

    Why is Everybody voting for Nobody? That makes no sense, that way you loose your vote!

    Don't you know that no-one is perfect? Vote for No-one instead!

    I know nothing about polotics, I don't even know how to spell it. Why should my decision influence the way this country is governed, that's what's wrong with democrocy, people like me are allowed to vote.

    You don't need to know a lot about polictics. Just like juries don't need to know anything about law. All you have to do is read what each party has to offer and then vote on which you like best.

    OK, Say I read the pamplet, one party says they want to raise inflation by 0.5%, and put £2 billon into the health service.

    The other says that this is a disasterous policy, that raising inflation will be bad for investors and that the money for the health service will be a waste that the health service should be improved by a restructure and that the £2 billoin would be better spent on the education services.

    the first party says that this is a ridiculous Idea, that a restructure of the health service would drive nurses into the private sector and increce waiting list and that the education services could be improved by performance related pay for teachers.

    Who the hell do I vote for?

    How am I supposed to say which party is Right on these issues I don't understand, If I vote it will be an uninformed choice, if 50% of the electorate is uninformed it could seriously damage the outcome of the election.
    If it wasn't for this sentence I wouldn't have a signature at all.

    Monarchy is the most stabile government, but i don't like it either. At the moment i can't se any better solution than democracy, but i think in future, we're being controlled by a computer

    I don't think no windows based systems would ever be enough competent to do that.

    But how would being controlled by a computer be better than democracy? What if someone releases a bug in it?

    Question off the topic

    To Sam Finch... dont worry, whoever you vote for will LIE about the policies they put in place, look at labour!!

    As for running the show.. lets make a stink.. then when we get the vote, use a UNIX based operating system, Bill's powerful enough already.. back to basics ****'um,

    buy the way, why dont the Govement sell that very tasty (so i believe) HM Whisky in the shops anyhow?

    because all goverment members think the public have no taste and should shut the **** up and just pay tax...
