As you know, last Sunday was the election day. Then, I was surprised at the low voting rate. According to the media, the number, 52%, was the lowest one ever since after WWⅡ. In the TV program, some pople who were asked why you didn't vote said that they couldn't think their votes effect on politics. Certainly, this time's election was sudden and many people are busier than usually in this season. So I wander why the goverments held the election so quickly like many others. However, I think that not voting is different from invalid voting. In my opinion, invalid voting is a kind of expression, while not voting is just a waiver of responsibility as citizen. In addition, if you don't vote even though you have the right, you shouldn't complain about the govermant.
As I'm 19, I have no right to vote yet and there is few chance to reflain my wishes to politics. This is one of the reasons I was irritated to the people who didn't vote. I don't want to be such an irresponsible adult.
