I hate cats,

Damn xenophobic cat voters.

I just watched this video for the cats.

Ha Ha Brilliant !!

@MahsaKaerra – more “liberal and progressive”? The UK is already an extremely (some would say too much) liberal country. It’s fairly progressive too – though I’d concede that with such a strong and successful history to reminisce over, it can sometimes suffer from being sluggishly conservative. However, without the brakes on liberalism that the Roman Catholic church puts on a lot of countries in Europe, the UK enjoys rational and modern Protestant thinking.

@Lairlimoges
Britain’s history is partly why it is so conservative and opposed to change. The idea that if we stick to what we did when we became an empire, everything should be just fine
Europe is a better place IMO, not only for the more proportionally elected parliament, but it is also more technologically adveanced, having high speed rail networks nearly 20 years before Britain, and a higher percentage of energy output from renewable sources, Britain is barely ahead of eastern Europe

@Lairlimoges
I don’t think the Vatican has so much influence these days. Religion may still be a deciding issue in Northern Ireland’s politics, but not on the rest of the continent.
The former Soviet Union has had more impact on social and political development across europe throughout the last 100 years than the Pope could ever hope to achieve in the next 100.
Though… Nobody expects the Spanish Iinquisition. : P

such a shame I rather like the thought of cats being able to vote and now they never can. Am sure AV would have passed if the cats had been allowed to vote.

So did AV win on the 5th?

This just depresses me. Too many people afraid of change or unable to think for themselves. My blaming finger is squared directly on the aging populace and the older generation since they cannot stand change and, unfortunately, represent a large amount of the population. If only there was something we could do to show how badly the public have failed themselves.

So if voters in the UK are so easily led by lies and propaganda from the right wing newspapers, why didn’t the Conservatives win 70% of the vote at the election? Could AV’s massive loss have something to do with the fact that it was a shit voting system and the people who campaigned for it didn’t even want it in the first place but had to make do with it? Miserable little compromise indeed. Stop being such sore losers. The Yes campaign was shocking and the AV system itself is just bollocks.

@TheInnocentExile there are plenty of people who were under the impression that my country (Australia) wanted to go back to FPTP which is a lie and the populace swallowed it hook, line and sinker, as well as the cost 250 million was a lie, the BNP would win seats (wrong they don’t have a broad enough support base), what Preferential voting does is prevent vote splitting, tactical voting and it forces the winner to have 50% of the vote, how can you support FPTP when it is clearly inferior

@irishgodfatherchris No it doesnt’t. Tactical voting sky-rockets under AV. Political parties would print voting cards instructing you which parties to vote for, for one. AV doesn’t give a candidate 50% of the vote – the last 10% is just grudging acceptance. Many test-elections under AV didn’t even reach 50%! One lie that came out of the Yes campaign was that it would make my MP work harder, which was a load of vacuous bollocks. I prefer ‘one man one vote’ which worked, not ‘one man 4 votes’.

And what’s with all the boo-hooing about Cameron forming a government with less than 40% of the vote? Blair got even less in 2005 and got a majority – was that fair? Since most of you complaining about Cameron are Labour supporters, you probably don’t mind when flaws in the voting system suit you. Hell, even in Labour’s 1997 landslide they still only got 42%. By your logic 68% voted ‘against’ Labour but they still managed a massive majority, but it’s alright when it’s your party who wins.

@TheInnocentExile no it wasn’t fair thats why Preferential voting works

@TheInnocentExile you still have one vote what part of that don’t you get, you just preference others just in case your first choice loses. And I was referring to the system that we use federally here which is full preferential, how to vote cards are not tactical voting on the voters part, its merely a campaign strategy (for example Labor here preferences the Greens who don’t expressly preference Labor but most Green voters do preference them)

@irishgodfatherchris It’s completely tactical. Voting cards are tactical by nature. You pick several parties to vote for and exclude one, voting against that party. It’s unfair. Elections are about voting FOR parties, not against them. Therefore any bollocks about “oh 68% against Cameron” is toss. To people who say that, who should be in government instead? Labour? They got even less. What this video fails to address is all left wing parties aren’t just ‘cats’. Politics is more complex than that

The narrator’s voice is very annoying

@TheInnocentExile voting against the party happens all the time in your country, that can’t happen here you can only direct preferences away, how can you find it acceptable to have a system where somehow 40% of the vote can equate to 70% of the seats, that just doesn’t happen here, if a party got 40% here they would lose horribly

AV is an occult symbol that symbolises the seal of saturn,masonic emblem,..its basically evil that is being used to manipulate minds…w.b.yeats the golden dawn elitist,crowley friend wrote a book AVision…so dont be taken in by this shit..there is more to it than meets the eye…there is a saturn demon called ‘AVE’…Hence we get the word ‘SAVE’…jesus saves and all that bullshit,..you’re being led down the garden path or stairway to heaven[saturn] ……….

Thumbs up for fedepepedepep.

as much as i hate AV that was a great vid. keep up good work!

So none of the cats voted for the dog party at all? That makes this fascinating video a false dichotomy, thanks.

@neilan15 The cats vote for cats and the dogs vote for dogs. There are as many dog parties as cat parties but the dog candidate in this video represents the OVERALL dog vote. The cats wouldn’t vote for a dog any more than a socialist would vote for a fascist

I vote that those cats are shipped to my current location so that we may become better friends
