I'm Australian and I agree.

@gridley And sadly you've described the majority.

@nathandurant2825 I confess I'm not British. But the same crowd pressing for mass immigration are the big culprits in immorality. My main advice as an Australian is live rurally and get your kids out of government schools. Cheers it's beer time here.

 @gridley Perhaps the French Revolution, there were also some during the English civil war who wanted to level as they described, redistributing wealth.

 @richardwebb9532 Plato had a very poor opinion of democracy.

@nathandurant2825 I agree. Here the link was even more obvious. It all began with the Same Sex Marriage Postal Referendum, a few years ago. The "No" campaign warned that it was a slippery slope towards the sexualisation and transitioning of children. But they were bashed and deplatformed. It was not a constitutional referendum done at the ballot station, being postal and on a subject that didn't concern most people, it became a matter of who could get their hands on the most ballot papers. Religious people were promised exemption along with schools. But even conservatives crossed the floor to vote against it, so it never happened. So little Catholic private schools were parents last resort. But all of a sudden every mother (and they are mothers ) who wants the glamour and attention of having a four year old child who is gender fluid suddenly decided their child needs a strict RC education. So even these schools are becoming a worry for parents as they have no legal standing, only the church. I would go further and bring up feminism, which has entirely destroyed society and the family. And their sexual morality is dreadful as well. To really have a decent society women need to get locked in the kitchen and gays need to be locked in the closet. In my country I can date everything that set the stage to destroy morality to 1973-75. Sorry for the lengthy post, I did warn it was beer time 😁

@Tony11806 I believe this too. However in Australia you get fined if you don't vote and the madness continues.

@Tony11806 Yes you could cast an invalid vote. But to avoid the fine you must stand in a long queue, get your name struck against the electoral roll, receive your ballot and enter a private ballot box. Having done this much almost everyone does vote. I have worked in elections and in my experience perhaps one in three thousand votes is invalid. The problem is that a large number of voters don't have a clue who they are voting for but still vote to avoid the fine. Add to this preferential voting means you are not voting for one individual you are merely ranking every candidate, which is typically 8+10 people in the lower house, and 20-30 in the senate. So our current Prime Minister only got 32% of valid votes. You are really only indicating who you want the least. So many people don't understand and they don't teach children how to vote in school anymore, only indoctrinate them to vote for Green communists. So put simply failing to vote is not a form of protest here. And there is no option that you describe, though you could invalidate your ballot by drawing your own.

 @Angenga Exactly. Democracy with universal suffrage is much worse.

@Tony11806 I understand.

 @jonathanj.7344 the middle class love immigration. Cheap labour to clean their homes and care for their gardens.

@nathandurant2825 The sad fact is legally they can.

@autismlogic Absolutely, statistically worse.

I'm Australian and it's absolutely the same here. I'm no Marxist but when Marx wrote that religion is the opiate of the masses he was wrong. It's belief in democratic change that prevents revolution.
