Does Voting Make Any Difference?

[Fuzzly Bear]

You compared national socialism with socialism. I doubt national socialism would have been keen on greater rights for groups such as blacks and women.

as they make up more than half the voting population
this is testiment to the voting system

Would you care to expand upon this statement?

Yea the voting system is fucking great isn't it. That's why, for example, the Liberal Democrats received an increased share of the votes yet lost seats! What a great system we have! There's no way to improve it at all!

There are/has been a great number of socialists in these islands. A great number were killed back in the day by the British. Today many don't vote for socialist parties because they can't or because there is no point voting for them as they will obviously lose, due to the fact that the current system is so outdated and skewed. Oh and also because they don't know about socialism. That could be something to do with decades of propaganda. It could also have something to do with the way that the system doesn't actually allow for socialism.
