Democracy Is Really In Trouble!!

The voter turnout in the recent provincial election has sunk to a dismal 48%, down a full 10 percentage points from 2005. For a more in-depth discussion of this phenomenon in Canada, read my earlier post to this blog, 'Voter Turnout is All Relative in B.C. Politics'.
Commenting in the Vancouver Sun three days after the May 12th election, Harry Neufeld, B.C.'s Chief Electoral Officer said, "(c)learly people believe in democracy and the voting process. But they don't vote and they lie about it." Have truer words ever been spoken and what are we prepared to do about it?!?
