  • They were two bonkers choices, but I don't see what cancelling the election is going to achieve.

    It's going to give people the idea that it's a stitch-up and make them mistrust elections in future. Why bother voting if they're just going to cancel the result anyway?

  • You're advocating for a technocracy then, basically.

    A system that sounds nice in theory (experts decide everything, surely that's good, right?) but there would be decision makers with no accountability to the people they're serving, lies and propaganda would potentially be more common and marginalised groups could end up even more marginalised, because the "experts" think it's okay and there's nothing you can do about it.

  • I don’t care if I’ll get hate for this but I don’t support universal voting, if you don’t know the most basic of facts, you should have no say in national decisions - end of the story.

    Not having universal voting may be a bit extreme, but the sort of ignorance on display in the photo is precisely why I don't support compulsory voting. A lower turnout with a more engaged electorate is preferable to people just putting an X next to something when they don't really care or have very little information on what they're doing.

  • Asking someone out on a date.

    I had social anxiety for years, so I probably struggled with this more than most. But it's surprisingly easy. And more often than not, if your instincts are that that person likes you, you're usually right.
