Thread Name: BS: Should everyone vote?
Subject: RE: BS: Should everyone vote?
Here's an interesting 'thought experiment' - what would happen to a democratic society if everyone in it decided not to vote?
Here are some possibilities:
- All the politicians realise the error of their ways, apologise, and start being nice to the electorate.
- The society's political system is thoroughly reformed and everyone lives happily everafter.
- Some power crazed general fills the power vacuum and the society languishs under a brutal dictatorship for several generations.
I know which one I think is most likely.
F--CKING WELL VOTE !! - it's better than the alternative. And if you don't like the system get off your fat butt and change it!
