Suddenly, a Liberal Democrat appears

You realise if you don't take part in the process, you're more of a problem than anything, yeah? If you don't even try to have a say, you really have no right to bitch about the outcome.

How ya doing, buddy?

One vote not going to Labour or Conservative, but not one that would have made a difference.

Okay, so we're going to be infantile and say our vote only counts if our team wins? You know why that's a wasted vote? Because the party has no base, because no one votes for them because hey, wasted vote. You need to learn the difference between long term change and the talking points of the major parties, BB. You should be smarter than this.

So no, you don't have a right to complain. You clearly voted to keep the status quo rather than support the underdog you actually identify with. Somewhere the stupid youth of this world got the idea you vote for who you think will win, rather than voting for the person who best represents your opinions. "O, well my vote won't change anything so I won't bother. Grrr, so mad that only these two parties are around. I'm going to show them by doing nothing. That'll start a discourse."

Eyes do not roll hard enough. No vote, no say.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well then, it seems we've come to an agreement.



How... awkward.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
