I was thinking of the obama example too but im not he is the best to use for this. He was the easy vote because bush jr was sooo bad. He came in preaching tons of change but has fizzled out because even he has to go through so many channels to make change.
true....your Bush example is similar to Stevie though
I disagree. Voter apathy is a problem, but I don't think mandatory voting is the answer. I vote in EVERY federal election, only some provincial elections and I have never voted municipally. I don't like being told I HAVE to do anything and I'm not alone, so there would be mass revolt. Then there is the constitution that would uphold my right not to vote. It would require a reopening of the constitution and that isn't going to happen any time soon. I'm more for changing the way we vote and educating youth on the process. We need electronic voting. There is absolutely no reason we cannot vote from home. We file our taxes online, we apply for benefits online, etc. why can we not vote online? It would neuter Steve's robocalls. Get the young people invested or at least remotely interested in politics. Lower the voting age to 16 or 17 and allow kids to get involved in their future. Schools should be bringing in speakers and running mock elections so they understand the process. My kids had no clue and no interest but they are voting for the first time. My youngest in Alberta voted for the first time last week. He called all excited because he voted NDP and they won! It was pretty cool to finally see some interest.
Except there is no country unifying obama to vote for here. I really wish there was.
Lol u dont really want to use the success of anything from a baltic state do u???
