Thread: Voter? Why do you vote?

Do you believe you have the power to change your government? What makes your vote special to you?

In many countries I have to wonder if the personal vote has any involvement in the outcome. Is it all an illusion to control the populous?SuperZhera

i worked over 15 years as a political advisor - the mantra years ago was that you dont win government - you only lose government

but 20 years ago 80% of people were intrenched in the way they voted - now that figure is down to about 40%

with 60% of people now swinging voters - its all convincing the masses about who is the least hated.

what i interpreted from your statement and i migth be wrong - is that you are really asking is does your vote makes a difference

sadly the answer is - no - in fact policy in all major parties regardless of where you live - would probably work in a way that only in a few at the top end of the party as having any influence in government direction. therefore many actual elected officials are in fact in the same boat you are a member of the voting public and that is voiceless.

the only thing that you could probably find some comfort in is that in modern democracies - if thats where you live - chances are there is very little difference between the major parties in terms of policy and probably all parties would handle difficult issues the same now anyway.SuperZhera
