but Why? why the apathy?
how could 55% of you people simply ignore the referendum and sit at home? or go out and play ball?
is it possible that so many are so totally oblivious to the implications of their actions, or rather their inaction?
i know that i come from a country that is almost ridiculously political. A country where anyting less that a 98% turnout is seen as "low", and people flock to their polling booths from 7am, sometimes even waiting in a queue to cast their vote. But quite frankly i am rather proud that my people at least care, even if i disagree with the vast majority, and their choice of both government and opposition, they at least try to have a say in what happens in their country.
our greatest enemy is not the left, the centre or even the liberal do-gooders. no, our worst enemy is ourselves and our apathy.
ps. apologies go out to those who have voted, and that probably includes all the members of Stirpes, but this is the only medium where i could express my frustration at the apathy of many people.
