Don't support politicians by NOT voting!
@ 2006-06-07 - 16:05:02There are many reasons people don't vote, which I won't debate here.
We’ve tried not voting, we hope for reform but even reformed systems will still elect members of political parties whose views on how we should live are then imposed on us. We have to have someone in power but we can prevent those seeking political power from gaining office?
How? Pick a candidate at random from among the people and then everyone who currently does not vote should vote them in. Sure, we could get anyone, but with enough ‘random’ people things should balance out in most cases. And next time there is an election we can pick and vote in someone else.
Goodbye to career politicians and those who just follow a party line or are in the control of big lobby groups. As they won’t get re-elected they can afford to stick their necks out on issues that matter to us. Sure they may follow their own agenda, but they hardly ever truly represent their voters’ interests anyway.
We’ve nothing to lose except being chained to party interests in the name of a false democracy. Let’s give it a go, who is with me?
