Snowflake burning in hell...

I think that one came out wrong.

Unfortunately it exposed the thinking of someone. That is what she truly thought so not a lot of sympathy.

I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. Ken Clark and snowflake girl, I am less than impressed with.

Actually felt sorry for her by the end as in became obvious that she was the acceptable face of millennial protestation and that they are probably ****ed if they think that moaning is good enough to get their own way.

However I thought the Labour guy was a particular evil sly kind of weasel in the way he explained about how his voters wanted him to vote on article 50 vs what he wanted to do.

Think its time political classes understood that they don't get the choice of how they vote. They are there to enact the will of the people they represent.

Another person who doesn't understand how the political system works in the UK.

A MP or any politician on a party ticket is there to represent their party first so needs to follow the party line unless it is a free vote. If they don't, on the rare occasions they need to protest against government policy they will not be able to gain the support, respect and help of their political colleagues both in their own party and across party to change government policy.

This is one of the reasons Corbyn has difficulties with Labour MPs in his own party as he's rebelled too much under other Labour leaders.

Snowflake girl perhaps, but why Ken Clarke? He represents his constituency, and his constituency voted in favour of Remain.

He thinks he knows best.

He wasn't addressing Ken Clarke he was addressing the arrogant leftie bint that started spouting off about jobs

She deserved hanging.

If you don't use your democratic right then as far as I'm concerned you can f*** off and I won't listen to your moans or other comments.

Not voting IS your democratic right. On balance I'd support your "protest/spoiled vote" argument rather than "just vote for someone" but deliberately not voting rather than being too lazy to vote is a legitimate choice.

That's not how it works at all. The whole idea is we vote in people and delegate a lot of responsibility to them as people who have more knowledge and (in theory) wisdom. That is their job and they get paid a decent salary for it. Direct democracy is a bad idea.

I think the point is that she did have a point of view which she should have voted for - why, when faced with a choice of 2 options - one of which you agree with and one of which you don't - would you not vote?

[d000hg]

Indeed. Not voting when you hold a view is deserving of attack - but I don't agree with Sue's "you MUST vote" argument.

[meridian]

When faced with a choice between Clinton and Trump, I wouldn't want to vote for either
