My government in Denmark asked me to vote for an ammendment to out constitution that would allow a princess to become Queen in our faux monarchy. (Yes we DO have a queen now, but she's thee on a one-off) The argument was that we need equal gender rights in our monarchy. Which is bullshit in a country that doesnt allow women to become drafted for the army. Or immigrants under the age of 24 to marry. And since the ballot didnt give me the opportunity to vote for a republic I turned in a blank in the hope a lot of people would do the same. Danish constiution annuls a vote where teh blank votes amount to 30%. My last vote was a blank.

Quieren hacer una diferencia? cuando ya elijan gobernantes, exijanles y si no hacen las cosas protesten afuera del palacio de gobierno, afuera de sus casas, etc. Eso puede hacer una diferencia. Hicieron su chistecito con sus votos y ahora tendran anios con gobernantes pesimos, felicidades. Casting a null ballot is the most stupid thing that's been invented... did you win anything with it? or did you just win being the news item for that day that will be forgotten? is anything going to change? of course not... the only thing that happened is that the winners were those who never should've won again. You want to make a difference? when you elect your officials, demand action and if they don't do their job protest outside the government offices, outside their homes, etc. That can make a difference. You made your little prank with your vote and now you'll have the worst government possible, congratulations.
