I would say IF you vote you have no right to complain - for you have legitimized the cause of the problem itself, and by that have allowed to be turned into an accomplice. What party you vote for, for the most is totally unimportant, the differences in their policies are minor. no matter whom you vote for - you legitimize the system itself by that - amnd today we have reached a astatus where this is the porblem of all corrupting of what democracy ones meant.

i also say that there is no real demoicracy left in the West anymore. Oiutside the West, this is realsied by people in all the world, and that is why the attractiveness of democracy worldwide is in delcine, and acceptance for othert government systems inclduing dicatorship, is high, and even rising. I linked some news essay on that some weeks ago.
