As some of you may be aware I get a ‘chance to vote’ in two weeks time (deep joy). 16 candidates are standing possibly a record.
Today I was telephoned by a ‘polling company’ my wife had spoken to them last week, he admitted then that it was on behalf of the tories. I’d just returned home after a hot afternoon on the allotment so I wasn’t quite ready for the questions.
I did tell him that FPTP is outmoded and outdated and that I negatively vote by voting for a candidate who will help ensure the candidate I don’t want to win doesn’t and not voting for the candidate I may want. I did say I wouldn’t vote for anyone that thought brexschitt was a great idea.
After batting away some of his questions he said that my views were different from many that he’d spoken to and would I like to join a ‘discussion’ in two weeks for which I’d be paid.
He asked age and religion ” none really, but I do follow Bokononism ‘
If I do get chosen is there anything else I should add?

Seriously, that’s never, to my knowledge, asked of these people. If there’s no felt philosophy (NOT the thoughts of Lawrence), then they can go piss up a rope.
If the answer is ‘A Surbiton set sitcom in which societal values were gently questioned’ then they may be worth your vote.
I’m not understanding anything on this thread.
