So many of them seem to be one trick ponies.
Leave the EU. Nice idea but is it really workable. And where do they stand on all the other stuff that matters?

Why not find out for yourself? Correct me if I am wrong, but perhaps you have only read the pro-mainstream propaganda? Check what the parties themselves say. I also think it is perhaps unreasonable to expect all the small parties to have a full and detailed manifesto as they don't have the resources that the mainstream parties have. That kind of detail will come as they gain support.

Trouble is, in real life nobody wants to employ someone without experience. It's just too much of a gamble. Why should running my world be any different?

If everyone took your attitude nothing will change and we will truly have the government we deserve. And it's 'experienced' politicians who have mucked the country up.

Voter turnout has been down in recent years. So it is happening. I don't really think it's an option for me. The mainstream gets in too easily that way.
A spoilt ballot paper is a better option than simply staying away. At least that way, a voter is not counted amongst the apathetic.

You think they should be paid more?
