Turkeys Don’t Vote

About the Book

No matter what you vote, the same old party keeps coming back, same old lies-you’ve given up and don’t vote anymore. Find out how the system has trained you to do what it wants. People actually have a lot of power but do not know how to use that power. This book in simple English shows you with the aid of cartoons how the system divides and conquers and gets you to do what it wants-give up and not vote, then try to vote for some minor party whose policies then disappears into oblivion. Yet another cycle of give up, vote, give up, vote, etc. Learn to beat the system and get what you want.

About the Author

The author was a prospective candidate in the Green Party and, after many years of support, found that the system was impossible to beat. The Greens, despite thirty years of dedicated support, has achieved depressingly little. She decided the fault laid with the way the system itself programs people to be politically inactive. People are led to believe we have a modern European electoral system where every vote counts. The reality is the first past the post system throws millions of votes away without representation. It was decided to analyze the system and people’s behavior to see where the “disconnect” was occurring. The system has a built-in mechanism to protect the rich and powerful. The goal posts of the self versus the state have now moved and the system now runs the risk of choking off democracy. Find out how to protect the self (yourself) and your national identity from global corporatization. Find out how to take back power. There are simple solutions without resorting to revolution.
