"[The saying] comes from a very ancient democracy, you see... On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people."
"odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."

"I did," said Ford. "It is."

"So," said Arthur, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?"

"It honestly doesn't occur to them," said Ford. "They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted for in more or less approximates the government they want."

"You mean they actually vote for the lizards?"

"Oh yes," said Ford, "of course."

"But why?"

""Because if they didn't vote for a lizard," said Ford, "the wrong lizard might get in."

I don't vote... The two partys that comes most close to my political beliefs are the very right wing one, and the very left wing one. None of these partys agree with me on even half the questions. So whatever established party I vote for, I actually vote against my own beliefs. See the problem?

And no, I don't see the sence in voting for the "lesser evil" as so many people do.

And no, I dont have the time or will to make my own party.
