Ppl, do you'll vote next sunday? What's your state of spirit for this elections?

Anarchy! XD And sure, i'll vote. Nothing ever changes though.

I always vote. And I'll be participating in the elections as usual, I'll be working in a school.

I'll vote also but this will stay the same...

Hi there.
Is this decision of not voting merely a matter of believing "it won't change anything" or is meant to be a way of oppossion?

Change is not only in toppling a regime, you know.
Every country needs change unless you believe one is the ultimate utopia.
And parties can make that change in democratic countries...On health, economy, education, etc.

Nobody said he/she won't vote

To be honest, i think a perfect democracy is utopia itself. because there will always be people opposing, no matter what. Thats how humans are. They always have to complain about something.

But in our case, things werent so famous before the world crisis. WITH the world economic crisis, things got much worse obviously. I know this current government is doing what it can, but the state of the country doesnt change much, even if it does improve a bit. And we need drastic changing or else more and more people will remain unemployed, living in bad conditions, and it will more and more become a vicious cycle :/

Thats what i believe in anyway. I always vote BE (left party) because i think they should get a chance. Right parties ALWAYS win, whether its PSD or PS. So why not trying something different? How worse COULD it be?

Think about that

I think there are still some people who would wish Salazar (dictator at same time as hitler in germany) was alive and ruling the country XD But no, i dont think there are any anarchist parties. There are some left parties like i said, but i dont think there are any extreme ones.

Portuguese people are relaxed and dont like having too much trouble XD Extremeness is hard work LOL joking

I'll work too. I'll be president of one voting section. And you?

Btw, PNR (the most extremist party in Portugal) lists were rejected. Ofc you can vote for it but those votes will be considered null in the end.

True, No one on this thread. But the way they were talking about that i concluded
that matter is controversial in the country. "To vote or not to vote, that's the question".

@BE: Maybe you should reconsider your understanding of Democracy for today's Democarcies are still far from Utopia and have never claimed to be one, have their flaws and rooms for improvements...But if having sex, porn, booz, etc mean everything to one, then they don't even need Democracy to be satisfied.

That's a little bit tedious but someone has to do it

Is that like volunteer job? Or you didnt have anything better to do at the place? :]

You can go by yourself or you can go for a party. You receive 75? for the job

Wow talk about getting paid for "almost" doing nothing How long do you have to stay there? All the way?

They receive money and also a justification for the next day, they will NOT work on monday! lol

Aw damn....they arent allowed to work the next day Sounds so frustrating! lol

Yes, why they do this? Why??

Ppl, I'm exhausted. It's indeed a good payment for the job but you do a lot during the day. You need to be in the section at 7am and you only leave after the votes are counted..could be at 20pm or 2am of the next day (next elections will a pain in the ass btw).

Yup but thats something u do once in how many months? (assuming you dont take it as a career lol) You get 75 euros per "day"! Never said its not tiring. Just said u have a "good excuse" to not go to your real job/classes next day, and you still win 75 euros besides it Tell me thats not damned good

Yes it is exhausting but I like to be involving in the voting process. At the end of the day, it's a good feeling. It's my second time and I'll continue to go because I gey paid and I contribute to the election. It is very demanding because it's not just being there and make sure people's names are on the lists, it is helping them solve the problem with their number, showing them what to do and all that and everything has to be right in the end.

Were you with your normal clothes? I would totally go to voting if that meant watching hot chicks dressed in black metal clothes X'D (maybe thats just me though).

I agree that it's a demanding "job" but it pays, it's worth it!

You can have the next day but many people don't use it because the employers don't like it. Also, if you're in a party normally there are rules: the party nominates you to be at the assembly vote but they want a percentage (half or the total in some cases) of the payment.

This is like a part-time you do in every elections and besides, there's a community spirit on it, that's what I like about it.
