Ok, atm I am reading up on my public affairs stuff before my exams next year. Alot of this has to do with the affairs of local and central government in a democracy. The stuff I am reading totally blows me away with what's really going on and how much apathy the voter has towards its own government.
This apathy is fundamentally undermining democracy and the reason for this being that the less you vote, the more your government has a say in what happens. Some of the stuff I've been reading is like wtf, no way should you be able to get away with that shit, but it's going on and not all of it is good.
But the question I want you guys to discuss is, do you think that because you have a democracy that your apathy contributes to what potentially could be a state run purely by administration where you don't count any more and why or why not?
Discuss away. (note this is a trend happening in democracies now for the past 60 years, so it doesn't really matter where you live, feel free to comment on it)
