You're right of course, I definitely do not want to do that. But I know
I would vote individually on the issues that I care about. For example, if everybody had a say, SOPA wouldn't have gotten as far as
it did. I would have voted it out, as would everybody else. But instead
we had to sign a petition once it was nearly through. We could all be
pro-active about... well, everything! But instead, we're kept on our
toes being reactive to it all. (opt in not out, people!!! This ideal
should exist everywhere but instead it's nowhere to be found). If everybody did that, I believe that each of us would have more of an
effect on the country than electing somebody who is never going to agree
100% with my beliefs, but is the best fit. That's insane! There will
always be compromise. In England, a party can promise to change x and y
if you vote for them, but once they finally come to power they might go
back on their promise. Okay, so what did I vote for then? Nothing. And
there's no accountability. This system is thoroughly broken and I refuse
to acknowledge it by 'playing along'. And the worst thing about this is
that nobody seems to notice, or care that picking the best out of a bad
bunch is how we should make our country work. Vote Waldo. |
