While it is a good citizens duty to vote...and yes I know that some women gave their lives so that we could have this privilege, I do think that it has to be acknowledged that a large section of the electorate are feeling disconnected from politics. Whose fault is that do you think?
You have the right to withdraw your labour if you feel that your employer is giving you a raw deal........and I think you should be able to decide to withold your vote.......especially when the current range of candidates for leadership are so poor and appear(to me, at any rate )to be lacking in backbone.
I
seriously considered not using my vote today.
So what stopped me from exercising this right? My daughter did......so if you saw me being frog marched to the polling station on Barnes St......why didn't you come to my aid?
It is a good job daughter couldn't come into my polling booth......or I would have been made to rub out all those funny faces.
Who-ever gets in today is in for a very rocky ride....and that means that we'll also be in for a turbulent time too.
