Being young or getting involved in politics won't change the fact that we still have dirty corrupt politicians who still find it hard to quit the game even when they know that they're not competent enough to secure a position.
Your reasoning doesn't quite make sense. It's like saying that people shouldn't get a fireman jobs because there will be always people who set fires, or policemen because there will be always crimes.
And in comparison, people who are capable and interested on changing things but yet choose not to get involved pretty much guarantees that nothing changes.
Young people do cast their vote but haven't you asked why is it that the result doesn't always comes out in favor of what the people voted? Is something you have to be worried about, is as if the vote of the people do not count, the old ones just want to be there (in power) not for the people but for the money.
Just because person you voted for doesn't win doesn't mean democracy doesn't work. It just means that you are not part of majority who won. If your candidate would win even if only few people had voted, that woudn't be democracy.
(depending what sort of voting system are we talking about)
I can't get it with how you drop your lines, all I'm saying is that people who are in the system just look for what they can benefit from other than doing more on what's best for the citizens.
To be honest with you, I can't see my self voting for something that doesn't work out in my favor, politicians are just selfish. As for Democracy, it hardly works or should I say it doesn't work from where I'm coming from.
