What an honest person should do at an election

Under the cur­rent system, going to the polls is the done thing. And here another elec­tion has begun. We don’t have many options.

If you voted for a can­di­date who then betrayed your expec­ta­tions and doesn’t do what he promised, you’re in the right, your con­science is clean, and he’s a fraud. If it hap­pens time after time, many years in a row, maybe it’s worth asking your­self: “Am I doing the right thing?” Maybe a bug has crept in some­where in the mech­a­nism itself?

If you voted for money or a kilo of buck­wheat, the clas­sic hand­out to voters, you’re as much a fraud as they are. You deserve more decep­tion and abuse.

If you didn’t vote for anyone (or voted against all), your con­science is clean. You take no part in this show, you didn’t become their tool for enslav­ing people, you didn’t help the scoundrels get into power.
