[QUOTE="cold ethyl, post: 756550, member: 107467"] I will vote. I don't want to and would prefer there being a none of the above option on the ballot so I could register my disapproval of all three parties at the same time as exercising my right to participate in this so called democracy. Do I think my vote matters? No. Whatever I may hope to the contrary, no country is governed by its elected government - globalisation has created an interdependent market that means governments and ultimately us are at the mercy of multinational corporations whose only allegiance is to the market. How we peddle back from this I have no idea, but I do fear for the world my son will inherit. Solving the inherent problems of capitalism is not possible within the system but no one seems ready or able to step off the merry go round. I don't think of myself as especially radical or a believer in conspiracy theories, but with the ever increasing consolidation of wealth into fewer hands, I can see a time when the have nots will decide to take matters into their own hands. I know that there's an increasing degree of radicalism amongst many of junior's university peers which I hope leads somewhere as what we have now is not sustainable , ecologically or morally.
