That is the quandary I am in at present......
If only we had a 'Vote for none of the above' option on the ballot paper.

If that happened, I would vote for the first time in my life!

Not indoctrinated but lead down a path.

Whether the path is true knowledge (as we are told) or the path is indoctrination to stunt intellectual growth (the conspiracy) I don't know. You believe the former, the poster you replied to believes the latter.

I disagree with most of what he stands for.

1. I don't want to pay higher taxes to support those who do not or are not willing to work. I have worked VERY hard to get to where I am, and I refuse to just 'pay more' because I 'make more'.
   
2. I don't want free border access to migrants
   
3. I don't want to see our military weakened.
   
4. I also do not support someone who implies Islamic terrorism is 'our fault' by means of being a free, democratic society.
   
5. I also do not support an IRA sympathiser.
   
   

Nope. Pardon my French, but Jeremy Corbyn is a top class c*nt. 100%.

75% of younger voters voted to remain.

I think however the issue of brexit is a bit off topic. I was only mentioning it to demonstrate how younger voters are in strong disagreement with decisions made regarding their future being made by older voters.

Yes I know they are - their lack of life experience drives that disagreement.

So what people disagree with you because of lack of life experience.

Rubbish.

I have a younger brother, he has two degrees, has traveled all over the world and been actively involved in politics, he is 25

But what because you are older than him your view carries more weight

No, younger people in general have less life experience and are less aware of the real world impacts of political decisions. That doesn't mean their views carry less weight, they are just not as informed in general.

Your answer by the way, is a classic example... Having two degrees does not give one life experience or great judgement... those who have degrees usually understand that when they get older.

My girl friend has her masters from John Hopkins and will openly tell you she isnt anywhere near as intelligent as I...Who has no degree. Degrees generally only equal indoctrination

So a someone who needs a degree to practice their profession is automatically indoctrinated? What a strange notion.

If you went to college. Yes. Their indoctrination success rate is rather high. I see very few college students who think for themselves nowdays...they just regurgitate the stupidities told to them by someone they think has the answers.

There's a difference between a student and someone with a degree. Your doctor has a degree, does that make them indoctrinated?

I hold 2 degrees, BSc (Hon) in nursing gained in the early 90s, and a BA (Hon) in Leadership and Management gained a few years ago. During my first degree I didn't get involved in the political crap at Uni, as I was too busy working to pay for it. I was working full time when I did my second one, and was middle aged by this point.

Both of these subjects positively encouraged me to question what I am told, and to seek out information and evidence for myself before forming opinions. I research subjects and most certainly do not regurgitate information. I look at the available evidence, weigh it out, combine it with experience and judgement, and form my opinion based on this.

I think it may be a generational thing, as universities today are very different from a couple of decades ago. Perhaps this is why so many modern students are big Corbyn fans. They just listen to his nonsense and regurgitate it as fact.

That is the way I will be going when the time comes.

This will be the first time in my life that I have had the opportunity to vote for a party with a reasonable expectation that the kind of government and governance that issues forth from it, will be as I would want it and as I expected.

I am rather looking forward to that.

Prepare to be disappointed then...

*Deleted, replied to wrong person, and it was off-topic anyway lol

As soon as this snap General Election was called, my immediate thought was that the Tories were going to throw it and let Labour win.
The rather dire and massively unpopular policy announcements made by Theresa May in recent days only strengthen my feeling that this is all an orchestrated dog and pony show for the masses. The real reason is to get the Tories out of the whole Brexit mess which, under a new Labour government, may never actually happen at all, thus enabling the Tories to lay the blame elsewhere.

Democracy doesn't ever enter the equation and it's just another mass manipulation exercise.

a reply to: Britguy

Actually that is a good point, the Torries through the election so they don't have to deal with the brexit negotiations. Then when the exit goes badly they ride back in claiming labour messed it up and they are the Heros to fix it all

a reply to: Britguy

How are you gonna explain that when the Tories win though?
Maybe not a landslide, but they will win.
Pretty much all those UKIP votes will be turning blue this time round.
The snivelling rag Corbyn will lose, and I look forward to mocking here at ATS on the 9th of June.

Corbyn is a traitor who would sell out our country just for an easy time.
He has has paid homage to dead IRA killers

Come on Grains, We could play this petty game all night.


Former active IRA member serving as Tory Party councillor

Peace was necessary, Corbyn was sucking up to the IRA long before that, even blamed UK policy for the Brighton bombing.
Scumbag.
...but do drop to your knees witha begging mouth for your snivelling king if you like.
Remember how much I'll be laughing thinking of you when the SNP don't get a coalition government with Labour.
SNP, again irrelevant in Westminster PMSL.

What is it about the sight of politicians, of any party, wearing hi_viz vests that irritates me so much.

You seem confused again.

Pro-indy Scots don't want a coalition in Westminster. We want not to be part of Westminster.

You make it sound like Corbyn was on operational duty with the IRA when in fact he was trying to negotiate a ceasefire. At least he was trying.
You can laugh until you piss yourself mate. Makes no odds to me one way or the other.

Why stand in the UK parliament then?
I hope you do get your second, or is third referendum now?
Fed up of listening to Scottish whinging.

For someone who is fed up you seem to shoe horn references to the SNP into a lot of your posts?

Maybe it's to do with your strange obsession about our 'begging mouths' .
