Democracy and why voting is wrong

Sounding Board

How can it be in any doubt? Of course they want you to vote.

After a chat about Joe Biden and whether Andrew thinks he may have been too quick to judge that he’s been replaced, we get into an old favourite topic, voting.

Spurred on by articles by Miri AF, but also a desire to start building a coherent and consistent set of reasons, Nic goes through a list of notes that detail how democracy is flawed and voting is wrong.

Starting by categorising the reasons into groups, we discuss each one, and bring in some of Miri’s reasons to counter them.

Where we end up is not in question, but the number of reasons is staggering, and even if you take a simple moral view, its important to look at all the ways the system has been embedded, and what that means for society.
