Hello again,
This post is for yesterday and I didn't post because I was actually glued to the tv watching election results and I apologize. For this post I am thankful for the ability to vote not only because we had a federal election yesterday but that we get to have our say over who is in government. We have a voice and we can choose to take advantage of it and vote. People in some countries around the world do not have this ability and they are willing to die for this right. Yet here we are able to vote without fear of getting shot or have the results tampered with or even to have the chance to have an election where the people decide. The funny thing is that many people don't vote here despite our ability/freedom to vote. People here take it for granted and make excuses but still complain when they don't like what is happening with the government. I always say that if you don't vote-you can't complain. Yes I know that we may vote for a party that ends up not getting in but if we don't go for that reason along with many others with the same thoughts, of course it will affect who gets in. Just think that if a bunch of people don't vote because they think their vote won't count and they all want the same party to get in... if they did vote then maybe that party would get in. We have an amazing opportunity to have a say in who our government is and that is pretty amazing! I am so thankful I live in a country that I can vote and not somewhere where I have no say in the matter and could be killed for trying. I know the election is now over and thankfully we shouldn't have another one for 4yrs but the next time an election comes, please consider voting. It is amazing to have the ability to vote.
