It’s foolish to say if you don’t vote you can’t complain. Democracy includes more than just voting in a first-past the post election. In fact many people feel democracy is better served by not participating in our foolish popularity contests.
I completely agree - today political action means voting every now and then, and then returning to a sedentary lifestyle of potato chips, beer, Television, and inactivity.
There are other ways to vote that don't perpetuate a party-politics, representational, dictatorship of the charming.
They involve getting up off your ass and doing something for yourself.
There's one thing that I am definately sick of hearing and that's the old line, 'if you don't vote, you can't complain'.
If voting changed anything it would be illegal. Voting doesn't matter, because no matter what the outcome, government wins.
