Make the ‘Issues’ your own.

   Having decided to vote the next problem is how do you decide on who to vote for. What do you want your polititians to do for you and who can you trust to do it?

    With your schedule you have no time to research the background of the local Candidate or go to the ‘town hall’ meetings and chances are that you are still at work or taking the kids somewhere when they come calling at the door. That leaves you with the television news or the feeds on your home page which are all about what the leaders say and do and are of course very selective.

   Opinion Polls you say but the big lesson from the last Federal Election was that opinion polls are not worth a heap of coon shit.

   This brings us to the ‘issues’. The polititians would like you to focus on their version of the issues, but what do you think are the real issues affecting your world, your future and ,more importantly, your childrens future.

    What are you being offered by the various political factions? 

    If you want to get rich, pay less taxes, have access to private health care, continue to pollute the environment without being penalised and generally ignore the well being of fellow citizens, Vote Conservative.

   If you want to elliminate all forms of private health care, pull our troops out of Afghaniatan, pay more taxes and penalise polluters, Vote NDP.

   If you want to have the impression that you can have all of these things, Vote Liberal.

   Voting is like being on a jury, you are not trying to establish the absolute truth, only a reasonable doubt and if you are a reasonable person you will surely doubt what the professional politicians are telling you.

   So where do you get the information from to enable you to make a reasonably informed decision?
