Speaking of democracy
Whilst scanning student news headlines I came across this beauty from the last WSU election:
2%?!?! That's ridiculous! Even the US, who does everything it can to prevent people from voting, manages to do a better job than this! Wonder what measures are being taken to ensure that people actually vote this time? More to the point, I wonder if the low turnout is related to the fact that the WSU doesn't actually do anything.
"The results of the election for WSU's 2005 executive released last month, show only 202 of the compulsory association's 14,500 members voted"
