In Place Of Strife
Wrong question. You should be asking simply “Why vote?”
Changing from Tweedledum to Tweedledee is not going to solve anything. For the past 30 years (at least) all political viewpoints have merged into a perpetuation of and the ‘management’ of a culture which is moribund.
Something which is explained here with great clarity by Alan Watts-

I have been reading again “A Guide for the Perplexed” by Fritz Schumacher and towards the end of the book he writes- “the modern experiment to live without religion has failed”
…here is the passage from the book
Here is a sample of Schumacher’s thinking-

…this is not part of the comment but is just a few random thoughts which may or may not lead to something or other
I wasn’t going to comment because the answer to your question would lead into a very long and complicated discussion about the nature of our ‘democratic society’ and the reasons for how and why we arrive at this situation.
I could point you in the direction of the ‘Perennial Philosophy’ as Schumacher points in his book to several authors on that subject but I am not entirely convinced by the arguments put forward by the likes of Schuon or Lings; they have a clear understanding of history but offer no direction for the future. I am inclined to go along with John Michell’s view that the coming collapse is inevitable after which the whole cycle will start all over again.
I am not gloomy, by the way. Far from it, life is wonderful!
Rather than quoting John Michell to understand why I think life is wonderful, I would suggest buying this book instead-

Reform of the voting system? Again, Jimmy Goldsmith had an answer to that suggesting that MPs should be chosen at random from the Electoral Roll in the same way that juries are chosen. It cannot be any worse than the present set up and might even be better. In my experience the average voter is considerably more intelligent than the average MP (Cameron recently demonstrated that fact on the Letterman Show) and more so than the average Whitehall Mandarin and nowhere near as devious.
