August1991 Posted January 22, 2006 Report Posted January 22, 2006 As the old joke goes, Vote Early and Vote Often. [Yes, I will vote despite the practical certainty that my ballot will not decide the result in my riding. So, why do I vote? So I can answer my grandchildren honestly when they asked how I voted in 2006.] Quote
theloniusfleabag Posted January 23, 2006 Report Posted January 23, 2006 Dear August1991, I will be voting also. Yes, I will vote despite the practical certainty that my ballot will not decide the result in my riding.A vote cannot itself make the difference (unless the counts come down to one vote....but then who can say if it was yours, unless you waited until last), but voting does. If your riding was to be automatically decided by your one vote, what would be the point of everyone else bothering to vote (or of democracy in general, for that matter)?

Guest eureka Posted January 23, 2006 Report Posted January 23, 2006 There was an election in Englnd a long time ago, August, that was decided by one vote. Traditionally, candidates had cast their votes for their rivals. It was discovered that in this one, the winner had voted for himself and thuse his one vote ensured his election. That is where the tradition ended. Anyway, I have work to do to help send a Conservative back to the job he knows something about. Quote

Slavik44 Posted January 23, 2006 Report Posted January 23, 2006 well I convinced 3 people to vote, but they all voted CPC...bastards last time I convince people to vote.
