They're not voting because...
- I will be spoiling...
I will be spoiling my paper because the election system is fundamentally undemocratic, yet we persist in our efforts to spread this brand of democracy to other countries. There is no longer any distinction between the parties, their policies and their low moral standards. No matter who is in power I am always worse off at the end of their term than at the beginning. My income falls on middle ground, where I cannot give my family the standard of living I want to, but do not qualify for state assistance. Government just seems to exist to give with one hand and take more with the other, whilst keeping as many corrupt bureaucrats in work as possible.
