This is actually a good question.
Rural people voting to give their civil influence away.
By putting all power in one hands, making future elections meaningless and reducing power of civil actions.
Why does this happen? Because in e.g. USA, rural areas are anti-big-government and anti-power-centralization. Which is exactly opposite.
- abuabdullah 10y agoyeah, that is why poor Americans voted for Trump to cut taxes on wealthiest and to make healthcare less affordable. USA is no difference. People are the same all over world.
- hospes 10y agoI think the reason is that they are the easiest group to manipulate, due to their lack of education. Somehow a lot of folks in rural US believe that: * Billionaire real estate developer from wealthy family, who grew up in Queens and lives in Manhattan (both are the opposite of rural America), understands their problems and "feels their pain". * Manufacturing jobs are coming back. * Coal mines are coming back. * Having less health care is more freedom. * There are death panels in ACA (Obamacare). List goes on and on... It is easy to manipulate the uneducated people. That is one of the main reasons that a lot of politicians have vested interest in keeping general population uneducated. Educated people will never elect them, their corrupt friends or their spoiled kids (who are gonna run for office soon). That is why they do not want to increase spending on education.
