Juggalo Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I would say though that the vote is the one and only true way of influencing the system. Whether you agree with it or not doesn't matter, you are guaranteed to affect the system by voting as it counts. Who knows how many protesters voted or not. I remember from uni time plenty of students heading off to political demonstrations having never bothered to vote just to be part of the movement. My sons friend didn't vote. And now he won't shut the hell up about ignorant bigots voting him out of the EU. I've told him his opinion means nothing. He asked why, and I told him, he had a chance to formally express that opinion last week, and chose to go to the pub instead. That he clearly didn't care about the UK or the EU, so why should the people who did vote care about your opinion? "....yeah, but, blah, blah, blah" Students are dicks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouthwash Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) The thing is, the ones that are protesting are the ones that will have either voted or are politically motivated by some other means. Just because they don't believe in the system doesn't mean they shouldn't have a voice. Your typical 18 year old sitting around scratching his balls playing CoD during the vote is not suddenly going to put on some pants and grab a sign on his way to Number 10. Now who's making assumptions and generalising without facts? I guess I can say this much as it's not exactly argumentative. But myself and all my friends have lived through the modern times around that age and guess what. We were all ball scratching CoD players who couldn't be arsed to vote. Edit: removed my last sentence. Edited June 30, 2016 by mouthwash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh my god... have we learnt nothing! Are ALL students dicks?! - I jest. However, I do agree. If you didn't vote and you could have, then you have absolutely no right to b*tch and moan about the result. I didn't vote, but that is because I was not provided with the opportunity!
