Ignorance is bliss - and a threat to democracy

Thank you Rick, for setting the record straight.

This is exactly what I've been saying. The Cons use the same trick as the U.S. Republicans - preying on the ignorance of some of our citizens and deliberately spreading misinformation about how our system works. They should be thrown out for this slimy tactic alone - it is an act of open contempt for democracy, the parliamentary system, and the voters.

Shame on you if you don't stay informed enough about how it works to keep from falling prey to such tactics.

Shame on you twice if you vote anyway.
