Seems to me that one group or more always ends up being screwed over no matter who's in charge. And no one seems to have the power, desire or influence to ever enact real change. If you tax the rich more then they leave the country or try to evade it. If you tax the poor then they can't spend as much money on consumer goods. Either way the government loses something and we gain very little. It's like this for a lot of different things as well. Top down organisation or bottom up. Left wing or right. At the end of the day it seems we end up with the same results in the long term. There's just a different method of getting there and different groups suffer more.

For the vast majority of the population, you're always going to be living in a society where a select number of people set the rules. Maybe voting for a specific party makes you feel like they're on your side if they're voted in, or gives you a something to hang onto if they don't (e.g. 'if my party were in power things would be different'), but essentially, for me, it doesn't matter. Even if your party gets in power, you personally have little to no say how the country is ran, you're just hoping that your chosen power represents you in the way you want them to. They might, they might not. Things are gonna change, laws are gonna change, the system is going to change, you just have to live your life within the confines that are set out and adapt your lifestyle when those confines are changed.

Firefox Favourite Manga Dragonball	The electoral college and how the parties pick their candidates. A few years ago Ed Miliband was elected as leader of the Labour party. A party which is funded by the unions. Despite a majority vote by the party in favour of his brother David, Ed won because the union leaders said they wanted him instead. It's supposedly changed now after that debacle and coincidentally after a powerful union leader Bob Crow died. Edited by Pelador, Apr 22 2016, 01:28 AM.

Not to mention that amount of voters who seem to be missing out on being able to vote is kinda terrifying. Guess that just means they're scared of Bernie - which in a way says yes your vote does matter, go out there and do it. If it is going to be that close you might as well add your voice. Here in NZ for example, I voted for our Green party, and they are at a stage now where we are closer to breaking the 2 party system than ever. The current governing party were not able to get in by a simple majority, they had to work with others. If myself and many others had gone 'eh it doesn't matter' there would be less people saying what needs to be said here.
