Should I spoil my vote in the Irish general elections tomorrow?

I’ve never had much trust for politicians in general. To me they seem to make a lot of unrealistic promises that they never seem to keep. It seems that history is repeating itself again and again. Nothing much seems to change (as far as the economy is concerned).

I really do not trust any of the political parties running for government. But if I don’t vote at all. Its like I’m just sending the message that I just don’t care. On the other hand if I spoil my vote that at least is sending some sort of message.

The act of spoiling your vote is a valid way of letting your voice be heard. It will say that you are not willing to transfer power to the politicians without that power being first regulated, controlled and limited. That way your vote will count as an utter rejection of the present arrangement. From the ashes of this dysfunctional political system a truly just, fair, equitable and accountable system of government and social system can emerge, but the citizens have to declare what they want changed.
