# 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.
