      I've never disagreed with anyone:whistle:, so the fact the button has gone will not bother me.;)

      I tend to just point out that you are WRONG.:biggrin:

      We need a "you are WRONG" button.

        Better to say you disagree, and give a reasoned argument as to why, than click an icon and scarper....

          No leader came close to what I wanted, no party came close to what the country needs.

          So we lose in our pockets anyway what ever happens, now we have a weaker government with less control.
          Scape goats have already been ousted, the back biting etc will now begin. So anyone wanting anything passing through parliament will have to wait.

                          Yes, it is almost as if Labour won the election, they didn't:biggrin:, but nobody accepts the outcome of elections/referendums these days, they just seem to carry on as if they can change the outcome.

                          What actually happened to Democracy?
                          I'm not sure it exists in this country anymore.

                              One of the good things to come out of the election is that it will stop the UK disintegrating. @silu I love Scotland and was always in the 'Better Together' camp. BTW, I voted Labour and think TM has got her comeuppance.

                                The Student vote @"M" : They are entitled to vote. This snap election was called at very short notice, during term time. Students will be at their universities so presumably needed to register quickly. They did and that is a good thing. Yes, most are probably from other areas and won't be around in a few years, but other students will be. I think it's a good thing that they have a voice and if Canterbury is a university town than it is right that they have a voice there. It is the nature of the system that a constituency should reflect the population.
