    Default Re: Do you vote?

    For my part, I see voting as doing the minimum an individual can do to express their political will. People can and do complain about anything, especially about things they have no control over -e.g. the weather.

    For all the failings of democracy, it does allow you, as a minuscule among the multitude, to add your drop to the ocean. Whether that individual contribution itself ammounts to much is (for me) a seperate issue.

    IMO, when you are given any chance to take responsability for yourself or something you hold dear (e.g. that might be worth complaining about), it behoves you to take that opportunity and exercise the extent of your power to affect it. To not do so is wasting that opportunity. The multitude doesn't really care if an individual doesn't vote, but the individual should - for their own self respect.
