Choice decisions
Cherish your elective event decision, but make sure you don’t lose your deposit, says Mash Media MD
Did you vote in your most recent election? I must confess that I didn’t and it’s a constant point of consternation with my wife… and rightly so, I guess. My flippant argument has always been that whoever is in power, it hasn’t really affected my life or, at least, the decisions I make for my business and my family.
I’m aware that I should vote, if only to respect the process. Thousands of people have died fighting for the right or freedom to vote, to have that choice, and so it’s appalling that so many of us abuse the privileged position that we’re in. Yet if you told me that I’d lose the right to vote, I’d be there at the polling station to ensure that I retained the choice.
