RE: Why I have never voted in a general election!
I like Russell Brand a lot but he talks a lot of nonsense about politics. I get annoyed because everyone wants governments to spend more money, and they have to pledge to spend more money, even though there isn't any. It's all short term, governments make decisions that are most likely to get them elected again, not what would actually be best for the country. I've only voted twice, once for the Natural Law party, as they were crazy but couldn't do any worse. Then I voted Green in the last election but that was only for one policy, Basic Income.
oh wow.. im curious what you think he says that is nonesense! i never heard a man talk SO much sense!! well each to our own i guess! Glad u voted green at least.. ;-)
Lots of the things he has said about politics make me think he doesn't know much about it and hasn't really paid much attention. Most of it is old socialist beliefs that sound great in theory but have failed in practice. I do wish the world could operate like that but it reminds me of the definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Here's an old socialist that gets it and I think unlike Russel Brand, he knows his subject inside out
