People have the right to vote or not for whatever reasons they deem fit, and that's how it should be. Perhaps a little honesty and a slightly more updated approach to wooeing the electorate on the part of politicians would help get people voting and for the right reasons. Or maybe parties should readopt ideologies, and stop with the predictable promises to do the opposite of everything the previous administration was criticised for.
I think if people's perception of politics as a whole was enhanced, then perhaps voting would once again be worth something.
