Do you vote?
I do, but often I wonder why I bother. It seems the same people always get in, and anyone who has a chance of even maybe shaking the system up, even if I vote for them, is unlikely to be elected. And yet, if I didn't vote, what would happen? How could I then bitch about how crap the new government were if I hadn't at least tried to stop them, to effect some sort of change? And if nobody voted, what would happen, I wonder? I know I vote mostly because of the fact that our country is relatively young and we've only had independence for less than a hundred years, so it seems only right to exercise my right to vote, but in the end, is it all just a big waste of time?
Do you vote, and if so why, and if not, why not?
Edit: sorry, this assumes you are of an age to legally vote, of course.
