Fine, but isn't it true that candidates are needed before voter apathy is relevant?
- esarbe 5y agoI absolutely agree. To me, these are two sides of the same coin; candidates are recruited from the pool of voters and since the voters are not interested anymore, there are fewer and fewer candidates. I struggle to understand why. I have some idea that this because things nowadays happen so far away - as in; I hear news and happenings from the capital - but people usually don't have the means to influence these happenings, they learn to just not participate. Maybe?
