Or, one who just can't be bothered to vote and various justifications for not doing so. If ones goverenment, at all levels, is for corrupt and inept that one...
Because it is is easy to creat lock step groups of moron who will parrot the party line and vote however they are told. You can fight this in one of two ways....
... But the general expectation is that if we only have 50% turnout, and if only we had 75%, we'd be so much better off. The problem is that just getting more...
It seems to me that the commentary is more along the lines of it being rather disgracefull that only 40% of the voting population gives a crap and the other...
Isn't it just as likely that those who are content see that regardless of which candidate is in office, they will either be content with the outcome or that...
... Tyranny is an odd word to use here (and I know it's not yours, Craig, I just couldn't build up the energy to argue the first time it was used). You can't...

Thats a bogus justification. Saying that you don't vote because you are so far above the fray of ordinary mortals that it pains you to lower yourself into the...
Well your assertion is a little misleading, Bill, since 84% do know who the PM is. All you've really said is of the 16% of ignoramuses that remain, most of...
That sounds about right. If you assume that there will be a 10% moron factor, that only leaves you with 6% borderline dimwits, and these days probably every...
I don't think anyone advocated mob rule. But I hope you're not denying the right of each and every citizen to participate in some way of the government of his...
How is my assertion misleading? 84% of Canadians know their own prime minister while 97% know who the President of the US is. One would like to think that a...
