Dr. Johnson once described a divorced or widowed man getting hitched again as a triumph of hope over experience. The same goes for voting as it goes for marriage. How many times must we be betrayed by the political parties before we sensibly come to the conclusion that voting is a pointless exercise and desist forthwith.
This would be a triumph of experience over hope.
When we wake up on Friday morning we are still going to have the austerity freaks and warmongers in charge taking their orders from big business on a daily basis. So what's the point?
We must look for other ways to change things. Bourgeois democracy has passed it sell-by date.
