I have to agree here
As Election Day approaches once more, we again have to listen to the chorus of moans about the number of people who can't be bothered to vote.
I have to agree with the author of this article: if the unmotivated and uncaring don't want to vote, good! Why should the outcome be skewed by the participation of those who don't care, and who presumably are too uninformed to cast their votes intelligently?
Aren't we all better off if they don't vote? Maybe instead of trying to encourage higher voter turn outs, we should simply encourage better informed voters.
