That’s actually a great idea: make major elections like a bank holiday and everybody gets off to go to the polls.

Of course . . . that won’t happen unless there’s some huge, major change in who’s actually up there writing the laws, because the majority of politicians up there don’t want people to vote because most people tend to be middle-of-the-road voters. Traditionally, the people who show up are the extremists who put that person in power in the first place.

Ha ha. Yes, true enough… but maybe they were just waiting for the right reminder? I’d like to see voting taken more seriously in this country, perhaps by making voting day a federal holiday so it doesn’t have to be worked in around the workday.

. . .

I’m not sure I’d want people to vote who need to be bribed . . .
