Do you vote? - I have once in the UK.  I've been out of the country since then and never bothered to set up my mail-in vote.

Will you vote? - Maybe.

If not, why not? - Because one vote doesn't matter.  I would find it more effective to spend that energy convincing all my acquaintances to vote, pretend that I do, turn off the tv and sit down with a good book on the night itself.

Do you think voting is a civic responsibility? - Yes.

Do you think your vote matters? - My personal vote - no.  The influence of the idea of whether I vote or not, has upon my social circles - yes - a powerful one.  Apathy is seductive, gotta keep up those appearances.

Should Independent voters be allowed to vote in primaries? - Yes.  Technically I agree that political parties should be able to decide who to field to represent them, but since I hate the concept of political parties, I say let's screw with them.

I vote, and I will continue to do so
I do not think it is a civic responsibility, if you are not well enough educated on the candidates or issues to know the difference please abstain.
I think my vote matters a very little bit. 
Primaries should be abolished.

Parties are about the only part of our election system that is not enshrined in the constitution.  Listing the party affiliation should not be on the ballot, the Democrat and Republican candidate should not be listed before the others.  If we are going to vote for the candidates and not have formal aknowledgements of parties like parliament systems that help to encourage multiparty systems then we should not be giving the party establishments any privileges or special powers.

Do you vote?

Well, it's compulsary here in Australia, but that doesn't stop me from donkey voting (IE not voting "properly") if I don't feel anyone is worth my vote at the time

Will you vote?
This, year, yeah, I've actually found a political party I can get behind, FOR ONCE.

If not, why not?
Most of the time though, I hate every "choice" I'm given.

Do you think voting is a civic responsibility?
I think manditory voting is a joke as it forces uninformed people to give their uninformed choices.

Do you think your vote matters?
About as much as a drop of water in an ocean of urine.

Should Independent voters be allowed to vote in primaries?
I don't even know what this means, I'm guessing this is an American thing.

Ever considered running for office?

Republicans and democrats can put forth more than one candidate. A runnoff called a primary is held. The winner runs on the party ticket.

I don't think we have that in Aus, the party just puts forward a candidate for us to vote for. However our system is less of a two party system than the US. Over here the house of reps is essentially two party, but the Greens have a decent amount of control in the senate, and occasionally independents and minor parties get a seat or two in the senate.


As for me, well I wasn't old enough to vote last election., and this time, I am not certain where I am in enrolled, because the applying system is kinda screwed up.

As for civic responsibility, well I've become more and more cynical about democracy lately, and I think I agree with Lysergic.

Voting matters in that it stops me getting a fine. But apart from that it matters only a very small amount.
Then again, if less people voted my vote would matter more. It is odd.

Protip Rumckle: Vote #1 sex party.

They are the only party that matters in Australia atm.

Considered running for office? Nope.
Considered starting my own political party which will exist solely the critisize the fuck out of every other party by parodying all the worst aspects of politics?
All the time. 

And yeah, I think I see how this independant/primary thing works.

You would need to declare the primary you wanted to vote in.
