Yet another boring election that I have to show up to get marked off as having attended.

@zonavar68 And because of that there is every chance you will centre on one issue that offends you more than others, because you are already there anyway, and vote..And that makes our system better in my book. Because the government has to make it possible for everyone to vote.😷

@whowasthatmaskedman But it's not illegal to not vote - it's only illegal to not turn up and be marked off as having turned up. Voting has never been compulsory but showing up to be marked off the electoral roll is.

@zonavar68 Yes. I know that. Voting is a responsibility for us.. But we never have to wait hours or travel any real distance to do it.. My point was that once we have "turned up" most people can find something to vote for, or against, and they do.. That doesnt make our voters any smarter. But the politicians are aware everything they do can be remembered and held against them by everyone. Not just those motivated enough to vote. Because thats all of us..😷
