iNEWS: Tuesday 07 May 2019. So, it’s voting time again. For many people, being eligible to vote and have your vote counted along with millions of others, irrespective of which political party you vote for, is a privilege that should not be denied. Whether things and situations will change or become drastically better after the votes are counted is a moot point. Politicians across the board will have us believing that their particular political party or organization will bring about instant, sweeping changes by improving the circumstances and quality of life for every Joe Soap or Sannie Seepkis in the country within record time. Truth be told, as we all know by now, this will not happen, or at least not in a hurry. Politics simply does not work that way. But in saying that, I truly believe it is every eligible voter’s duty to make the effort to go and vote. No matter for which political party we vote for or whatever our reasons are for not wanting to vote for that party, a vote must be cast. It is the only really meaningful way to show satisfaction or dissatisfaction with our chosen party.
