part 3:

It is very clear we voters over value our votes - and the power they ought to bring.
There is nothing really wrong with that.
We have been told after all that we matter, that we govern our country - this is a democracy.
All of which is very well. but there are an awful lots of us doing a lots of very different things without agreeing much. or rather the one thing we can agree on is blaming leaders if things go wrong.
no wonder then politicians take individual voters vote cheaply. it does not matter much - for votes (like money) matter only onmass. One needs then to talk to mass (and a relative mass at that - all i need is more than you - in certain places).
We are caught then in the agony of a system that others are valuingn their votes, just as they are devalued in th esystem - probably in part in reaction to this fact.
