If their voting would not have made a difference due to corruption then it is an illusion of change.If some would rather hope for the best, continue voting, and sleeping.

As for like-minded people voting although they believe it to be an illusion and thinking it makes a difference, the only difference it would make is on them ---becoming hypocrites. what are you really asking here?

And how much sway do you believe local politicians have in the grand scheme of national politics? They are a more direct voice for the people but are usually the voice that goes unheard when an 'executive decision' has already been made, again illusion.[/b]
read your own post. Who is set in their opinion?
I have addressed that there is corruption. But I don't hide behind that fact.
What do you stand for? what would you propose?

All political campaigns are decided on a grass roots level by volunteers working with their friends, peers, and neighbors.
You don't think you can be a part of the solution. Or worse you don't want to try hard enough.
