Six reasons why you don't have to vote if you choose not to do so.

Sick of being told loftily why you should vote? Well to counter those who tell why you ought vote here are six suggested reasons of why you don't have to vote (of course remember that whether you choose to vote or not is still completely up to you, for now?):

1)      Because your voice will not be heard

2)      Because even if you do vote some one you didn’t vote for will get in

3)      Even though there are those who have died for the right to vote this is an emotive based argument & not a convincing argument in of itself of why you should/ought to vote. Also in dying for the same right to vote those persons also died for your right to choose not to vote, you have that option to choose thank’s to those people who died to gain that right for you, either way you are exercising your political & citizen rights

4)      Because even if you vote it won’t make a difference, no one election has ever made a difference let alone a single vote

5)      Your vote only counts in the sense of electing those who do eventually get in to office & you voted for them, otherwise your vote hasn’t counted because those whom you wanted to vote into office did not get into office

6)      Even though you have the right to vote you also have the right not exercise that right to vote a de jure of most (not all) modern liberal democracies

In summary those who tell us loftily why we should vote because' are themselves projecting there own disapproval to those of us who may or may not choose to vote. Just because those who believe firmly we ought to vote see a value of good in voting is in itself not an argument nor a justification of why individuals who supposedly have choice in a democratic society ought to made to be feel that here or she has an obligation to vote, thus such a firm belief in the democratic system is not a valid reason to base such an argument or indeed a justification to pressure others into voting or to make them feel like a second class citizen if they choose not to vote. Nor is it a given that the truth of the vote as a good as perceived by someone who feels this way is in & of itself a proof of either its truth or its good, no matter how deeply felt or believed. Thus those who tell others why they should vote have themselves based their own arguments upon a subjective belief which in turn they feel they have an obligation to (& in Austrailia's case impose) impart unto others.

To conclude all we can say about voting is that the reasons why people choose to vote or not to vote are in themselves comepletely subjective, a set of reasons perceievd to be right by that individual at the time.
