would you vote for if you knew it would greatly benafit the country?

Yes.  In fact, voting in any state, federal, or local election does greatly benefit the country, even regardless of who you vote for.  High voter turnout is crucial to a functional democracy.  That's why I've voted in every election since I turned 18.  All one of them.

Screw that - I'd settle for people who understood what the hell was happening in the countyr / world being the ones with the vote. Most of the voting morons I know - who probably need help to get dressed in the mornings let alone decide my future - are taxpayers...

Absolutely. They should be encouraged to see the way our Parliament system / senate is run and how the actions of politics affects our lives.

Well... it's all good to stick to your ideals... but if the country is going to H*LL in the meantime, there may not be a country left to come around to you... If everyone that had outside party ideas voted against Bush, he wouldn't be in office right now and we would be a lot closer to where we all want America to be... granted not exactly on your idea level, but I would be willing to be closer...

I would vote FOR self-respect, FOR equality,  FOR a voice in the world, FOR control over our own affairs so I would vote yes to Scotland becoming an independent nation again.

Yes they certainly should, and I don't think it should be a question of being 'allowed' either. They should make the decision themselves for what they feel is best for their country without overbearing 'superpowers' breathing down their necks.

with enough signatures by registered voters you could be a write in canidate.Im sure you would get some votes.

I most definitely do. The decisions that are made on the your local level are the ones, most of the time, that have the most affect on a person. Additonally, the local politicians are easier to make contact with if you have concerns and questions.

my preference is to vote independant...whatever is best for this country in the long run...not giving up long term things for short term gains

I voted mostly independent because I am surrounded by Democrats and therefore knew my vote wouldn't make a real difference anyway. So I'd rather boost the numbers for somebody I REALLY believed in, rather than the lesser of two evils.

Why should you want to do that?\n\nIf you dislike the politics of your home country, choose another.\n\nThat's "voting by feet" - as it's called here.
1127513
Absolutely not. It would disenfranchise wide swaths of the poor who have just as much a right to vote as anyone else.
1134169
I probaly would. If it is going for a good cause than yes I would.

Will you vote on election day?

You are astute, savvy and well educated, perhaps your generation and America would be well served if you made the decision to go into politics.

that would depend on the credentials. if a woman canidate is better than a man, i'd vote for her. and vice versa is true too. \n\nwhoever is the best fit for what the country wants.\n\nin this case, i'll vote Nadar!
