DIFFICULT political conversations could happen at any time this week. You will be expected to have opinions, and worse still listen to the opinions of others.
Here’s how to handle it:
– Say there is no difference between any of the parties, then admit you can no longer discern between dogs and cats or night and day and you need help.
– If with left-wingers, begin with “Well I’m not racist,” at which point everyone will immediately shut the conversation down in fear of what you might say next.
– If with right-wingers, say “It’s all very well but what are they doing about litter?”, steering them towards the one issue that truly excites them.
– Claim you are non-political, and vote on basis of how you feel towards a party’s brand or logo.
– Continually and loudly shout over everyone about how important it is to vote, especially for young people, even though they are mostly dicks.
– Ask everyone who their MP is and their voting record, and when they have no idea say “Pretty futile fucking discussion then?” then offer round Nik Naks.
– Confess that you are unable to vote, because you are serving a life sentence for murder.
– Insist that only voters in marginal constituencies take part in these discussions, because whatever anyone else thinks is unreservedly worthless under our current system.
– Big up the Lib Dems.
