I think I'm with the majority of non voters in saying this:
1. I am not interested in politcs in the sense that it seems to be a bunch of adults bitching and moaning about eachother like they were kids. Its like they can't agree, even if its obviously a good idea or whatever. it's their job to disagree with eachother. Just too frustrating to want to be involved in such bs.
2. I'd have to do research to find out what these guys actually stand for. I already know what they don't stand for, and thats the oppositions outlook and ideas/plans.
3. Any alternative to the Liberals or PCs is basically a wasted vote. Also see #2.
4. The PC's will win in Alberta. As long as the east is Liberal the west will be PC.
5. Since my vote for the environmentally minded party is useless, then I'll settle for PC. Since PC will win, I won't bother voting.
6. Environmentally minded party doesn't have enough $$ to make a solid campaign, thus not attracting enough voters. And we're in Alberta where if the Eviro minded party were to win, we'd all be "doomed" and the economy in Alberta would "collapse". people are scared to change.
7. Politics are boring, and those who actually care will vote and make the proper chioce for our province.
8. serious lack of common sense in the government. many things are far to complicated to get anything done quickly. the system just gets more and more complicated, thus leaving me more and more uninterested.
