absolutely, but there is no check at the polling station to see if you know your shit, maybe if there was a basic political policies and awareness test or certificate...
I just think this 'vote for yourself', culture is shit, and (much as I'm sure a million tedious examples can be shown of where this didn't work) we need a bit more 'citizen' type voting...after all, boris got in, and it's because he had the shiny policies that appealed to the majority, who thought 'fuck the cyclists, I don't want to pay a congestion charge to pop down to Waitrose for a freshly tossed salad'...or 'fuck the environment, I've got a business that is based on carting stuff around, and it relys on the 'efficiency' of oil', or even better 'I don't like ken, so I'm going to shit in the stew and vote boris'
how about a compromise?
