Before I was legally allowed to
vote I remember telling my ouma one day that I would never vote because my vote
would never count in this country anyway and what was the use of wasting my
time… how stupid and naïve I was.
Of course by the time I actually
became legal to vote I was older and a bit wiser and I changed my mind and have
voted ever since.
Do I think any of the parties are
perfect?
No, I do not however I think for
the greater good of our country it is our responsibility to vote for a party
that has the ability to rule out the current ruling party and start to make the
change.
I gazed over the ballot
yesterday, most of the parties I had never heard of and several of them were
religious which is just wrong I am sorry but politics and religion are two
things that should never mix, a party that rules religiously will not condone
religious freedom if allowed to dictate government and laws and therefore has no
place in ever doing so, in any case I made my mark, I stood two hours in the
queue with a loopy lady in front of me who made me laugh a couple of times it wasn’t
too bad in the end and we got to enjoy the rest of our day as a family which
was lovely.
At the end of the day its everyone’s
choice to vote or not but I do strongly agree that unless you have voted
(unless something valid prevents you from doing so) then you really do not have
the right to complain about anything in the country because the truth is each
and every vote counts and if we want to create a better future for this country
we all have to stand together and work towards that change.
