WHY SHOULD I VOTE ?

This is how your voice, thoughts and opinions are translated into something the government and political parties can hear.
Your vote is the ticket to expressing your voice. Your vote expresses your choices in freedom and equality, in government, leaders, policies, freedom of press, transparency, gender equality and so much more.

WHAT DOES POLITICS HAVE TO DO WITH ME ?

 Most people avoid the issue of politics and don't want to be associated with it at all. But have you ever talked about taxes, corruption, freedom or equality and wanted to do something about it ? How did you feel about the toll and petrol increases ?
Do you blog ? Do you agree with the regulations placed for bloggers?
Everything is affected by politics. Politics plays a much bigger role in our lives than we realize.
This is a democratic country, and that means it's your right to get a say in who runs your country, and how this country is run. When we choose not to vote, we are also choosing not to voice our opinions. It's almost as if we're saying we don't care what happens. So in that sense, we lose our right to complain if things don't pan out the way we want it to.
People believe that one vote doesn't make a difference. The truth is, every single vote counts.

- We want to believe that the power of "one" is not simply overrated, just rarely challenged
- We want Positive Action not Negative Reactions
- We want to integrate not tolerate
- We want to stop complaining, and start acting
- We want our friends to stop migrating overseas and our parents to stop telling us  to do so
- We want to be colour blind to our neighbours
- We want to stand up to be responsible for our collective feature and believe that others want to as well

The decisions we make today shape our tomorrow, individually as a community, and ultimately as a nation. We want to voice our choice the best and most civil way we know how in practicing our democratic right ----- BY VOTING
