The Irrelevant Non-Voter III
This blog is written mostly tongue in cheek. Some points may be informative. Please provide your feedback.

Hello. So how come more people vote for the next Canadian Idol than the next prime minister or premier or mayor? Because it's entertainment.
Therefore, should political elections have an entertainment tie-in? Should all voters get a chance to win $1 million? Or to play "Deal or No Deal"?
How can people feel relevant enough to vote for something entertaining, yet irrelevant enough not to vote for a government? It does boggle my mind.
What happened to the days of Pierre Trudeau, where someone had enough charisma to get people genuinely interested in politics? What would it take to get back to those days? Can it happen given the dirt digging media?
What does it take to make non-voters feel relevant again?
Regards,
Irrelevant
