DRS1, with respect, I think you have misunderstood my post.
You say, "Apre, based on your comments, I take it that you do not vote in the elections. In which case you should not be in a position to object to any political viewpoints. Those that do not vote should shut up with their political views."
First, you are not in a position to say who should or should not hold political viewpoints. No one is.
Second, I do vote in elections. However, I vote tactically rather than out of allegiance to one party or another. So your first assumption is wholly incorrect.
As for objecting to political viewpoints, I did not make any comment which challenged either your, or your MP's political viewpoint. I commented to the effect that his reply to your legitimate enquiry was condescending towards you and exhibited a smug arrogance and lack of intellectual capacity on his part. Basically, he mugged you off.
Your last sentence was a repetition of the of the incorrect assumption which you started out with. And as such, redundant.
Your original post, earlier, was a good illustration of why our politics is in such a parlous state. I admired it for that, even though it ruffled my feathers (your MP's comments, not yours). I was just trying to say, thanks for tackling a difficult subject with a dimwitted, condescending, sham "MP". You read it wrong. You then sent me a snotagram for God knows what reason.
Jeez . . . learn to take a compliment or at least think twice before you hand out the tough guy insults. Otherwise, you risk making yourself look a bit daft.
