daswig, intelligence doesn't make you smart. Even if you're on top of what the parties are all about, you've been engineered in some way to accept these things as the most important issues. You're saying, "Yes big brother, I agree completely and thus I will vote for you." I apologize for arguing on a psychological and philosophical level in the politics forum, but when the parties incorporate both into their campaigns, there has to be someone to stand up and tell people not to buy into it.
Social psychology is one of my favorite subjects. It's an amaingly powerful tool that people in power use to influence those who are not. When you wise up to these schemes, perhaps you'll stand up for your rights as a human.
