Not voting is not an excuse when Doug is on the ballot, you still need to vote for the less sucky person.
It's time to admit that us Ontarians just suck on average.
We shouldnt have to vote for the lesser of 2 evils.
What would you rather be shot by? A gun or a bow? Ya HAVE to choose!
Well personally I dont want to be shot, how do I vote to not be shot at?
You don't have to, and here we are with what IMO is the worst choice, because you didn't vote.
I did vote ya presumptious arse.
So then "sucking" means we deserve this? Voting isn't the answer if it doesn't fucking work. We need something other than first past the post before anything will change.
But MPs are dragging their feet on electoral reform because they're worried about job security. Just think: if smaller parties can gain traction through electoral reform, why vote Liberal or Conservative at all?
I dunno. I'm just sick of voting like it actually matters because it just doesn't, and the low participation numbers suggest that most people feel that way.
Coalitions. Look at Germany or other European countries. The winning side often forms Coalitions to stay in power. That means small and large parties can come together to beat the opposition and also have plenty of job opportunities.
