>>Dmitry, politicians do not listen. They do only what is necessary to keep themselves in power. I will not vote because I do not believe it will help in any way. Government *should* act in the interest of the country and people they represent regardless if that population votes or not. But instead they do whatever they want to do and voting is a way to appease the "sporting" masses on the one hand and to decide which bunch of liars we get on the other :)

OK.

Do you think the masses have any clue on how to evaluate the complex socio-economic-political arguments that policiticans reduce to sound-bites to make informed voting decisions?

Do you think that's air you're breathing now?
