elections

With the next municipal elections (there are held the next weekend) I question myself again if I should go vote. Ok, I question myself but I know that whatever reason against or in favor I elaborate nonetheless I will go. Why? It`s not because I think that mine vote will make a big change, nor because mine vote with others vote can make new things (okay maybe it`s do, okay more than belief I doubt, but let's move to other ideas or I will never finish this). If none candidate represent you, there isn't much sense in voting, and in that case not voting is a form of expressing that nobody represent you, but on the other hand not voting can also be interpreted as non-interest in politics. So why? Civil duty? yea, maybe that's a good reason, most of times one move by the force of duty, it's just a thing you must do, but more than that i think that the reason that move myself to vote it`s other: a historical reason. It's a right that was gained painfully, many people had to fight and die for that right, so i feel that not voting is just wasting that effort, it's a form of denial of that people. Other reason that usually helped was that my voting place was near my house, now it's  changed, still near at hand, but not so close as my previous voting place.

About the qualities for running a public position I think that the most important is coherence, coherence between that they say, do, are.  Maybe because that`s in what our politicians most fail. Respecting myself become a politician I think not, it`s not in mine plans, there are other forms of political actions such as assemblies where one can take part or make, democracy is more than just voting for the people that will gobern.
