what do u think of ppl that don't go to vote?

Question

on conscience reasons

Answer 1

I believe that no one should have to vote.

What ever happend to Freedom of speach , and Rights ??

If this was the case, We could make our own decisions about having to vote.

I do not have any problems , with people not voting , Its up to the individual . Infact, well done , to them , for sticking up with what they believe in , and not voting.

Answer 2

I think people who don't vote are ignoring the rights that were faught for. Do you know how many countries don't allow voting? Did you see the news a while ago where voting was such a priviledge for the country there were lines and lines of people? You should vote so your voice can be heard. You should vote so your candidate gets another vote. Or, so the candidate you don't support doesn't get a vote. If you don't know who the candidates are or what the issues on the ballot are, research them before you go vote. Why wouldn't someone vote when they have the right to? It's your chance to participate in government. I not only vote at every election, I've also written letters and sent emails to our governmental representatives letting them know how I feel on certain subjects.

Answer 3

They've got good bloody sense.

Frankly, I think if less than 51% of the population vote, it means ALL the candidates are useless. The elections should be scrapped, and run again with new candidates, until people are hopeful enough in the new leaders.

Quite frankly, most of the choices in developed countries is rather dire, like choosing between tooth ache or head ache.

What do you do if you don't want either?

Answer 4

I think that most people who don't vote are frustrated with our system of government but instead of fighting for change they add to the dysfunction by not voting. Others are just flat out lazy and call themselves conscientious objectors.

Democracy only works when the people participate. If our votes didn't count for anything then our forefathers wouldn't have worked so hard to keep women and minorities from voting. If our votes didn't count lawmakers wouldn't go around trying to win endorsements from lobbyists. Lawmakers do not care about you not voting, they only care about those who vote because they know that your vote is going to get someone closer to winning and they want that someone to be themselves.

Many people are not even aware that they have more than two choices. There are many smaller political parties but it requires effort on your part to find them and educate yourself about them. For those who still aren't satisfied with what's out there, there's always room for you to start your own party and run for office yourself. There are many options available but it takes a lot of work and patience.

Thank God for conscientious objectors who vote because they are the sowers of the seeds of change.

Answer 5

In a democracy one must have the right to choose not to vote. There is so little difference between the two main parties in the UK anyway it sometimes seems a pointless exercise. Perhaps if we had a party futher to the left more people would turn out,either to vote for them, as I would, or to prevent them from gaining power.

Answer 6

I served my country so that people have the choice to vote or not to vote. I wish all voted and gave their opinion"officially", however, will never be. I don't agree w/folks bellyaching when things don't turn out the way they think it should've but didn't vote. We're in America, speak out and be heard. It's what our country is about. Choices. Make them. Live with them. Enjoy the freedom to do so.

Answer 7

They have no grounds for complaints if something happens and they don't like it.
If these people are women I think it's a disgrace (I am a woman that votes) - I am not a political person at all, and hardly know anything in the world of politics, but I do know that many women died for me to have my vote and I feel like i have to use it.

Answer 8

I think they are awesome, because I have decided not to vote for the next few elections. I'm tired of the BS on both sides, and ESPECIALLY the BS from Democrats.

Love, Jack.

Answer 9

Voting is a responsibility of every adult citizen in our democracy. To not vote is to void your right to help form the government and the future of our country.

Answer 10

Even a decision not to vote is a vote to let others decide. What do you think of that?
