The problem is that there are many decisions to be made some as much as 4 years into the future. You cant chose a candidate who thinks exactly like you about issues we don't even know are coming. The voter doesn't have time (and is to lazy) to inform themselves about all of the countless election programs. The two of these combined make that people have no influence on the outcome at all. While I didn't read most programs I did read the one from our farmers party and voted for them. Got a bunch of representatives cheering on the genocide. Suddenly I don't care about anything agreeable they claim to stand for. There are many better formulas to be had. We should flesh them out, debunk them, refine them, reword them, run them by people with different political ideas. The current systems most remarkable property is that they were designed in completely different times. Same goes for the popular theories. What does \[say\] Marx know about 2025? He might even be insulted people are still talking about his visions rather than have their own.

Why should voters like that even have the right to vote? ''While I didn't read most programs I did read the one from our farmers party and voted for them.
