Is there anyone here that just does not care @ the election?

[Semperfi_dani]

I am really surprised about myself, as I normally consider myself more on the political minded side...but with that said...i really do not care about this election. I will vote, but if i didn't come here, i would barely know what the issues are..thats how little i am paying attention.

I feel like a lazy apathetic voter. Like i'm not really informing myself. I still have not made a complete decision yet. I normally vote Liberal, but i'm not entirely happy with everything that has gone on.. I have voted Reform in the far past, and i think the cons have done well, but i feel a bit of distrust about the whole con party under Harper, as well with some of their social stands. I think that the NDP have some good ideas, but i fundamentally disagree with a welfare, gov't heavy state. And the green party is just too ..um..out there.

Oddly enough, of all that I have paid attention to, the BLOC have some surprisingly good ideas. Too bad they are a seperatist party.

So i feel sortof adrift. I don't know which of the lesser evils to vote for. I usually vote for the best candidate..but i live in Edmonton Centre West..and we have really great candidates for all three major parties (Laurie Hawn for PC, Anne McLellan for Lib and Donna Martyn for NDP).

But i just can't bring myself to care..does anyone else feel this way or have some sort of apathy?

Re: Is there anyone here that just does not care @ the elect

I care, because I know the government which win's will be able to change the enviroment I live in for good or for bad. So if I care about I I live, I should care about what makes up the government.

Now thats just myself. If I care about other people I should also give a sh*t about the election process. Those who don't vote, I can understand the reasons but when it comes to caring and actually the time to just vote. I think it's immportant to care.

Care Abou the Government

I care greatly about who takes up the reigns of the Government of Canada.

I registered to vote yesterday, at a temporary office of Elections Canada (since my birthday is only four days before the day of voting), and I would not miss my opportunity to vote for the world. I must vote; I honestly believe that I would feel guilty for not having done so. I would feel that I had somehow neglected my responsibility as a citizen of Canada.

FiveParadox, after reading your profile (student grade 12) I'm surprised you are of age to vote. lol
