Why I'm Burning My Ballot

Setting fire to important documents is fun, and sometimes necessary.

This is not meant to be an exhaustive, in depth account, but rather a broad swipe at a few of the bigger problems in our pretend democracy.

Tomorrow's headlines should have been about the Murdoch boys' evasive answers. Now they will be about this dumb git attacking an 80 year old man and Wendy whacking him in the head. Thanks you self-promoting pudding faced twat.

Well Jon i am somone who agrees with your point totally, i live in a try safe seat and its a bit silly voting But i think it's still a good thing to do. It's the way that we can communicate our personal opinion. i see why you're doing it and i even agree with your veiws but i don't think it's the thing to do. ;) fight the good fight man it'll all blow over

Looks like, democratically (counting the most votes) you've been awarded the dull dick-head of the year award.

"Surely most people did vote for him?" @ruskepe

Most people who voted voted for him but you are forgetting all the numpties who burned their ballots or who didn't turn up to vote.

honestly, I'm American I don't really care whether someone threw a pie or not because honestly they shouldve known what was going on( the murdochs); and brits dont give me the usual shut up you american reply that brits give to americans all the time. Since I'm not aware of the full story I won't say he deserved to pied but would you pie the man you hacked into your phone? I think yes; and again I'm not saying it was Murdoch who did it.

So, move. Dipshit.

Or you could bother finding another way to enact democracy, other than "Whoever gets the most votes in an area, wins that area."

But that wouldn't be democracy now would it?

@SaberSense: "so NOTHING drew MY attention away from the "real" issues brother" - yes, I guess that's why you're spending your attention posting comments on the pie idiot's youtube video thread. Carry on, sir.

I really hope everyone just ignores him and he goes away.
