Bad reason to vote: Someone badgered you to do it. (That's Tyranny by proxy). Mediocre reason to vote: You feel it's your civic duty. (It may very well be depending on your personal values, but it doesn't change that the available candidates may suck sweat off a dead donkey's balls). Good reason to vote: One of the candidates & his/her team seems genuinely sensible and has clearly defined policies to would take things in a good direction. #vote
