I vote in every election--in fact, I already voted, since I live in the U.S. and vote absentee. I do it in spite of its futility (living in a strong conservative riding), but also to preserve the hope that someday we may have competitive elections in our city.

Honestly, it doesn't bother me when others choose not to vote; it's their loss. If you think about it, another person not voting means that proportionately I have more power than he or she does.

And I do love power.
