The Fine Art of Irony

I skipped out of work for two hours to go vote, and I voted for the Work Less Party (a.k.a. The Work Ethics Party). Their platform is essentially based on the writing of Bruce O'Hara ("Working Harder Isn't Working", "Enough Already") who is also their candidate for Comox.

While the Green Party has a similar policy, but the Work Less Party has a more arts-and-culture oriented platform, which resonates with me as an artist. I did not want to vote for either of the the front-runners, and if I am going to "throw away" my vote, it will be to the party that suits me best.

I had the same point to make with the federal election: ultimately a person should vote locally. Vote for the candidate/party in your riding that best suits your vision and the needs of your riding. Don't play an odds game of simply voting for who you think will win. That accomplishes absolutely nothing. The very point of voting is to voice your opinion. If you have a "fringe" opinion and vote for a maintream party, you've lost your voice and subverted the process (and that being said I think it follows that I voted in favour of the STV).

You scored as Existentialist. Existentialism emphasizes human capability. There is no greater power interfering with life and thus it is up to us to make things happen. Sometimes considered a negative and depressing world view, your optimism towards human accomplishment is immense.
