Election

As I'm sure all of you know, the election took place this Friday and Saturday. It was a pretty big deal for the Czech citizens because it was the election to the Chamber of Deputies. To be honest I'm no political person, I never was.. nevertheless I decided to vote even though I would not change the results, on the other hand, it will influence them somehow. I am not going to tell you what political party I've decided to support, it's everyone's business whether they choose to share their political thinking with people or not. I think this arguing about everyone's choices is pointless, it doesn't lead to anything else but throwing people off.. no party is perfect and in many cases it feels like choosing the lesser evil.. but anyway, it is well thought that the election is silent, otherwise people would probably kill each other. As I said I've already chosen whom to put my faith in and only the time will tell how wise my decision was.
I realize that I am an adult who probably should be involved more in political issues.. before the election I did not do any research or study on which party would deserve my vote the most, all I did was basically seeing the promotional campaigns which were literally everywhere!! I did not even watch any political discussions on TV. That is definitely something I am planning to change in the future. I will build a strong political foundation so I'd be able to make a firm decision of who to vote. I knew what the party I gave my vote to planned on doing but I knew nothing about the others. I will definitely change that. Before there is next election I will do my research on the nature of every political party!!
As always there were many people who chose not to vote. Of course, the election is voluntary, the thing is that these people should not get to be the ones to open their mouth and complain afterwards.. they did do nothing for the election not to turn out the way it did so it is their fault, not others!!
