By the time you vote it will be too late.
I will not vote. I believe in real change.

Then there will be no change if everyone disenfranchised does not vote.

But as I have said the audience was chosen equally by number of supporters of each party, therefore as 4 of the 5 parties up there are centre or left of centre of course the audience were more left. Don't know the numbers but say they chose 30 audience members for each party then of course 80% of the audience would be anti-Farage. It's not the BBC's fault that 13-15% of people intend to vote UKIP and 85-87% intend to vote for a party less right-wing than UKIP.
The vast majority of people in the UK are less right-wing than UKIP and the audience reflected that.

That is what Ed said to him, do not attack the audience.

What is vile about prominent Black British athletes, actors etc trying to ensure that black people vote and reflect the cultural make up of Britain ? Creepy? Deeply disturbing ?
:rolleyes: "Where have I heard that before?"
If you think that the term leftist is somehow indicative of how manly and non quiche eating you are then you are seriously deluded. The term itself is an Americanism that makes little sense to a British audience. Everyone in Europe are to the left of America so it carries no gravitas whatsoever. It is to be quite frank, laughable, quaint and endearing and not at all the insult you believe it to be.
I may be by voting either Green or for the Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition, one of the more extreme "leftist" posters here, but even moderate left leaning posters like
Master who will be voting Labour is "Leftist"
Dia,Rhun and most of Wales whoever they vote for, are happy to be called "leftist"
Ryan who will vote tactically for Labour is "leftist"
Many people in the civilised world outside of American would be quite happy to be described as "leftist". It's not something to be ashamed of.
Ade Adepitan the guy in the poster is not trying to convince you of anything, but if you think trying to convince Black people to vote is racist then you seem a bit confused.

I will not vote. I believe in real change.
There were Muslim demonstrations in Cardiff today where the fundamentalists were urging Muslims at a local mosque not to vote, because Allah would judge them if they do. If you choose not to vote, you believe in small change.
If you choose not to make yourself heard, then you are making everyone else's votes more important than yours. You are telling everyone that their opinion matters more than yours. If you don't vote, then you have no relevance in this debate whatsoever, and may as well shut up and go back to marking tests or preparing lesson plans.
