My dog too mate. But you are right. You basically have a set up in which the parameters are fixed and you HAVE to work within these limits. Enjoy.

To a certain extent. Because of the voting system in the UK where one person wins out of three or four in each area rather than voting for a specific party and the percentage of votes for each party in the whole country being allocated properly, it is already slightly 'rigged'. There are also only three or four sensible choices to make and they, at the moment, are so close in policy that it makes something of a mockery of the whole electoral system. However, I do not believe in a non-electoral system - the 'people' should have the right to choose as best they can within their country's system. So the answer is, I partly agree and partly don't... sorry, not a straight answer but politics never is...

it only seems that way because it doesnt matter who you vote for, it doesnt matter what they said to get voted into office they will go against that to forward their own agenda.
Al Gore promised to protect gun rights and tobacco framers and tobacco when he ran to rep. Tenn. Only a few years later he campaigned the opposite to run for vice president.
Al Gore keeps screaming about global warming and asking American's to reduce energy at home... and his mansion uses 20 times more enery than the average American home. How much is your utility bills? Al Gore's electricity bill average's $1,359 a month!!! His natural gas bill average's $1,080 a month!!! And that is in Tennisee, my Uncle who lives at the top of Michigan spends about that much all year with gas heat, gas clothes dryer, gas water heater. I believe that the top of Michigan has colder winters, but then Gore has to heat 25,000 square feet. No that was not a mistake, his mansion is 25,000 square heat. Talk about hypocrisy!!!
G.H.W. Bush helped to erode gun rights when he was president, and he was a life member of the NRA.
G. W. Bush helped to create new govt agencies and to increase the powers of existing ones, and totally did away with citizens privacy, even though limited govt intrusion and limited govt are supposed to be hallmarks of the republican party.
Look at J. Edwards, he is campaigning with his dying wife at his side to show that he is a family man. If he is such a family man, he should drop out of the campaign. He says that no matter where he is, no matter what he is doing, if his wife needs him he will drop what he is doing and be at his side. So if he wins the election and his wife gets very ill... where does that leave the country??? I don't think that you can be president if you are ready to put the presidency and the country on the back burner.

Almost correct. The elections aren't rigged, but certainly the voter's function is allow politicians to claim that they are under the people's mandate. But abstaining, they can't claim your sanction.

Rigged elections are certainly a strong likelihood with postal votes. Vote early vote often! It seems to work in Birminham and parts of London.

The only point in having elections is to exercise a choice btween competing ideologies, policies and principles. No point at present.

Check the facts:
If there were no voter fraud, there would be very very few Democrats elected.
LBJ used to brag about Dead Democrats voting in Alphabetical Order.
Now---the Democrats are registering illegals as Democrats by the hundreds of thousands.
SURE, that's illegal!!!!! So what?????

Your a nut job.
HAHAHAHA. The jokes on you communism LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST... American democracy through down you're ridiculous ideology and pissed on its ashes.
America won and the ussr lost...Hence the "Former" soviet union. Communism doesnt work and I highly suspect you come from an uneducated family - and it brushed off on you - and more than likely live in a third world country..
Anyway, do us all a favor and die, you communist pig.
