EXCUSES WHY THEY DID NOT VOTE

Post election excuses are many. At work yesterday, there were so many reasons people did not vote. Only 61% of eligible voters cast their ballot. Here are some- the weather-it was raining; all politicians are corrupt; it was a protest not to go out and vote! Democracy allows for apathy so it is important to respect everyone's excuse. My daughters voted after many years of not voting. For me it is honouring those before us who fought for peace and freedom and the right to vote. A majority will not bring everything to everyone. It will allow that another costly election will not occur for several years. The money can be spent on other initiatives. Work hard everyone! It takes all of us to make a great nation. Our government is only as good as we are as a people. If you do not like what you hear or see, then write, call your MP ( Member of Parliament). What do you think?
