What is the point of voting, mainly here in UK and USA?

theres no point in voting. its basically a scam to give people the illusion of control. First of all, its much too difficult to be an informed voter...second of all even if you are informed, politicians are clearly motivated by something other than their claims and promises.

I do not consider the US to be a democracy at all. Its clearly an aristocacy. I dont really have a problem with that because aristocracy is a pretty good government and democracy is terrible.

You should vote, just because you have the basic privilege of being able to

I'm a girl and I vote, just to try to make a difference and the fact women have suffered for my right to vote.

Cause by the vote they usually end up out of office - which is their whole reason for living.

What about other issues like gay marriage or abortion? What about propositions regarding how your tax money is spent?

People aren't the only thing we're voting for.

Ideologies, are important

if you don't vote, that makes somebody's vote with a different ideology count twice

America has never been so split over Ideologies as we are today

Want some cheese with that whine?
