No. I&#x27;ve never voted, not once.<p>I do not believe I live in a democracy, even though that&#x27;s what we&#x27;re
calling it. I believe that by voting I&#x27;m validating a broken system.<p>Who are all these people making calls about everything and setting rules,
while knowing relatively little on the subject matter? I personally think
a democracy would be every eligable person being able to contribute to
the decision of (ie.  voting on) these calls, rather than simply picking 
the &#x27;guy&#x27; who makes them. Let the experts in their fields have a say. I
don&#x27;t know what such a system would look like - but only if something
like that were in place would I call it a democracy. What we have right
now is the illusion of a democracy. I&#x27;m not interested in voting, but
I am interested in fixing this mess.<p>Back down to earth..  I think the barrier to entry for understanding
current politics is unrealistically high: in order for me to make a call
on a party I need to know quite a lot of things about each. There is no
&#x27;official source&#x27;, which forces me to google, which forces me to read 
some third party source, whether it&#x27;s a news site or some blog. Either
way it&#x27;s more often than not a very biased opinion that does not weigh all
sides equally, and I can never form a complete picture. Too much time is 
required to contribute for what I would gain from it, and I have better
things to do. Is anybody aware of an aggregator or a summary site of all
political parties views? Can I look up a party&#x27;s stance on something and
cross reference what the other parties stances are on the same subject?
