Re: Does public opinion matter? With chart! (none / 1)

to quote myself

theres the old Anarchist poster that has the following text on it
National election
XXXXXXXXXXXX
Local election
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
This is your lifetime supply of democracy
please do not steal the pencil.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

I liked the graffiti at South Bermondsey Station in London.....

"It doesn't matter who you vote for...the Government always gets in"

"Any economic unit can emit money. The serious problem is to get it accepted" Hyman Minsky

Re: Does public opinion matter? With chart! (none / 0)

I saw another great one a couple of weeks ago:

Vote for Nobody!

Nobody really cares what you think.
Nobody will keep his election promises.
Nobody will improve your lot in life.
If Nobody is elected, things will be much better.

Or something along those lines.

If you only spend 20 minutes of the rest of your life on economics, go spend them here.
