What is voter apathy?What happens to a General Election when your choice on the ballot paper boils down to a choice between the Conservative Party and a conservative party. Let me get this straight - I live in a Tory majority and my choices are Labour, Conservative, Lib Dem, UKIP or Veritas, and we know the Tories will get a 20,000 majoity even if I vote Lib Dem? voter apathy - videoVoter apathy - what is it?Combination of "voter" - from Latin votum "a vow, wish, promise, dedication" noun use of neut. of votus, pp. of vovere "to promise solemnly, pledge, dedicate, vow." + "apathy" - Greek apatheia "freedom from suffering, impassability," from apathes "without feeling," from a- "without" + pathos "emotion, feeling, suffering." The media shills on the street ranting about voter apathy don't realize they'll be first against the wall when the revolution comes. |
