As has been explained to you above - more than once - if that very strange idea ever flew, which it won't, the country would grind to a halt in, what, 48 hours?

ECCOnoob Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 3 hours ago, Grumpycatweasel said: The general public have every right to have a say in how public is spent and where its spent Yes they should and they do through the means I've kept pointing out. There is even some scope for genuine debate about whether some of the political methods and voting procedures should be modernised. HOWEVER, what the ill-informed, out of context and fickle public should NOT have a rolling weekly ability to do, is micromanage, interfere, chop and change their decision and go off on a whim over every single financial decision the government has to make. Surely even you can understand how unworkable and catastrophic that would be. That is the proposal in the moronic petition that you linked. That is the topic under discussion so the rest of your tangents are just irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annie Bynnol Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Before the far-right are incited to vote early vote often can we congratulate Grumpycatweasel on their persuasive powers?

There are NUMEROUS videos on the subject all describing how it's a REALLY bad idea (2) When was the last time you voted? Never in my life-time has public voting been held in a post-office. (3) The Conservative Party are the current party in control of the Government. They have been in power since 6th May 2010, after winning the 54th General Election. The have subsequently won the 55th-57th General Elections. (4) You have a say. Every General Election each party produces a manifesto, Spending is part of that manifesto. You get the opportunity to vote for the party who's manifesto best aligns with your views. 1) Actual Proof? The banking system is electronic and seems to be secure 2) paper leaflets counted via people with a vested interest in politics versus a Computer counting votes with traceable data to avoid corruption 3) They have ways to bypass the system and keep in power using malicious techniques 4)General elections are to far apart to keep societies issues upto date.Its 2024 times are changing faster than an ancient system can reasonably expect to achieve Politics needs to have an Electronic system put in place No one party should have a stronger position of power over issues every citizen has to live by it’s morally not acceptable in 2024 with current technology and the future reparations are going to be substantial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
