Comment on Greens question the value of Economic Growth by tony goddard

Goes back to Malthus. Population growth is exponential. Carrying capacity grows more like linear, or polynomial. Exponential beats polynomial. Growth must end.

Comment on Stronger government if Labour respected the role of the opposition. by smiley steve

“but would it not make for stronger government
to respect the role of the opposition?”

Of course not Jillian, Councillor Creasy. That would be TOO MUCH like Common sense and mature, adult behaviour…which, malheureusement, is NOT “de riguer” with English Politics in general.

Sheesh…the thought of co-operation and communication and fairness. Come on!

Comment on Keep Bernard safe in Sheffield by Dave Callaghan

I think it would be totally unjust and a denial of his basic human rights to deport this man. He is married and settled here and poses no threat to UK security or the public in general.
Please reverse this decision.

Simon – honestly you are wrong. The message pointers were there all the way through.
However – I do think people needed to be able to recognise the message(s) to get it.
My previous comment is to do with the fact that the principles could have been flagged up on an early text frame/screen. I do think this would have improved it at minimal cost.

It was nearly brilliant. It just missed one essential at the beginning in presentation terms.

Comment on Greens hold Central Ward with 49% by SW

Good results.

BUT
I was appalled at the national and local turnout. I think if this had been higher the results would have been better for GP.

I have only missed voting twice in 35 years (both good reasons) in both local and national elections.
We seem to be in a horrible situation at present where ‘whinge / ignore / not do anything’ has become the national culture.

Sheffield is a university city for goodness sake!
Surely our university population should see voting as an obligation of their privilege?

How do we get people to vote?

I don’t have the definitive answers to that but we all need to address it before the next elections.
