"Politicians are like diapers. They both need changing regularly and for the same reason."-Author Unknown
A government by the people, for the people just can't work without the people. You live in a democracy and that means that you get a say in who runs your country, and by way of this privilege you also get a say about how your country is run. It is very easy to be blast about your right to vote and take a "whatever, who cares" kind of attitude about it but you shouldn't brush this great honor off so quickly.You should vote because you can, if you don't you may one day wake up in a country where you can't. It can (and has) happened.
