Dave Cournoyer began blogging in 2005 while studying Political Science at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. In 2006, he was elected Vice-President (External) his Students’ Union and served as Chair of the Council of Alberta University Students until 2007. Since then, he has worked as Communication Coordinator for Alberta’s official opposition party and for various advocacy and public policy groups. As well as writing on this blog, Dave also occasionally writes for publications such as SEE Magazine.
As I posted on at www.gauntlet.ca, David Evans is pretty clearly wrong.
ReplyDeleteLow voter turnout is bad for democracy both in and of itself, and as a symptom of broader problems.
He seems unwilling to consider the possibility that voters don't vote because our politicians suck.
So go be a politician if you think the politicians suck.
