In this country if you are an Australian citizen and 18 years or older then you are legally required to have your name put on the electoral roll. On polling day you have to attend a polling booth, but only to get your name crossed off the list, you DO NOT have to vote. You can mark the voting paper any way you wish. To me that is a waste of your democratic right. I vote and hope my vote helps in some small way. aquascraphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18432745348986301849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8143425161710061069.post-60566998167204851162013-03-22T11:34:57.762-07:002013-03-22T11:34:57.762-07:00Hear!

If we all know that politics is dirty business, how come we all don't get together and get rid of all the politicians and start over with new people? In our country, we supposedly have the right to go to the polls and vote every four years for the president. However, if you read the rules, our votes don't really count. The only votes that count are the electoral votes and they have nothing to do with our votes. So why are we voting? <br /><br />It's all so confusing and mind-boggling. We just do what we can to go along with the majority.<br /><br />You have a wonderful day. Hugs, Edna B.Edna Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02550994321689374875noreply@blogger.com
