No it would not be a statement, it would be being to lazy to get up and move your ass to the ballot box. It is nothing but an arrogant snobish snorting of "I am better than the rest of society". Whilest in fact you are simply leting others make your decision for you.
I voted a different party in every election I was at, except for 2, and never fully agreed with the entire program of one one of those 7 national parties in my country, yet I voted for the party that fitted into my opinions best, because I am a pragmatist and not a jerk who thinks everything should be as I want it to. Other than that, I also vote so I make the party that I definatly dont want to be in power to get elected.
Quote:I'll happily admit that I'm not aware of every single political system. Do you have an example of a flawless system of government?
Flawlessness is a concept for fascist, marxists, the religious and other utopians. I reject the concept of flawlessnes in politics and made that clear in my previous reply here. Do I really need to repeat myself!?
A system of government can be improved, but it cannot be made flawless!
If you believe in creating or aspireing a flawless system of goverment you are on the wrong forum and should look for one with swastikers or an hammer and sickel.

Then write in a way that makes it clear.
Quote:That being the case, would it not be advantageous for the people making policies to be those best suited to the task? If I want my car fixed, I go to a mechanic. If I'm ill, I seek out a doctor (or just man the fuck up). So why would I want a failed journalist to dictate economic policy? Or a lawyer to make the important decisions on education?
*Headdesk*
Didn`t I just explain to you that expert opinion can vary on an issue and that therefor there is never one single true way of solving a problem?
How old are you? 14? Or are you just too lazy to actualy read what I write and simply keep repeating the same stuff?
Quote:Would it? I don't see why.
It would, since it eliminates the process of debate and relies entirely on the single opinion of one expert.
Quote:Which means precisely fuck all.
No. It means everything!
@Tiberius: You scumbag are on my ignore list, framing people might be ok in whatever palast your nannies spoonfed you! So stop making the "effort" of replying to me, if you have any intention of making me reply to you. Because I will not waste my time with some framing, false and lying worthless piece of trash like you!!!!
