Title: NOTA Campaign - Spoil your ballot paper Post by: Lethn on May 06, 2015, 04:48:56 PM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdiG9tCq-BU
Holy shit, I think I finally found a political campaign I can actually relate too, I'm going to be spoiling my ballot paper in this fashion tomorrow and I will be putting down I want Direct-Democracy.

Yesterday, I voted against a proposal that was going to raise the sales tax 16% and it failed. My vote mattered little other than being happy that I contributed to denying the proposal and the lies the statists were putting on tv about it.

To be honest as much as I mock Americans the democratic system you guys have it is pretty representative, a lot more so compared to the UK where we basically elect dictators every 5 years, this is why I rant about Direct Democracy so much, if we had that I'd be voting constantly or at least writing up petitions and so on to blockade certain laws, the best system you lot have is the write-in where you can put in any citizen you like to run and show your support, but we have none of that. It's pretty much Labour/Conservative/<Insert flavour of the month third party here> for us lot, there hasn't been any real variety for the past century. |
