Right, I’ve established that I’d rather reform Europe than abolish/leave it. I’ve also established that I’ve got more time for those who honestly disagree with me on this than the vacillating types who play the nationalist card but have no intention of leaving.
So, in theory, I respect UKIP, because they’re honest in their policies and positions, right? (more…)
Ultimately, the best way to ensure greater participation in politics is for politicians to remember that it is they who have an obligation to the public rather than the other way round. They should remember in these scandal-ridden times that theirs is a mandatory requirement to serve us with honesty and integrity. Ours is a voluntary act to give them our vote. Any decision not to is a logical response to the options available. The problem lies with the politicians, not the voters.
Like I said, until very recently, I favoured the idea of compulsory voting. The more I’ve thought about it, the more convinced I am that the system needs fixing, and enforced voting will lead to even more dissilutioned and alienated voters. Power to the People!
