Most people here debate all sorts of political matters. I think it might be interesting to know the level of the partecipation of NSGers to real-life politics.

Poll coming (as a way of lessening the risk of threadsteal!)

Hmm... I have voted in every election since I turned 18 and continue to do so even after moving to Japan. I keep abreast of my local (Home) issues, national issues, and the goings on in Japan (Where I obviously do not vote). Don't plan to do much more than that though as I wouldn't make a good politician and my life as a teacher leaves me with too little time to get involved in a political campaign. That might change though.

I voted in my local elections

I've been elected as Class Representative..

Yes, the Upper Class, you vile supremacist :mad:

'I don't vote, cause I don't believe in the voting system' is missing.

Still one can select this option and be interested in politics

I voted. Once.

I'm not allowed to vote in Australia, but they graciously allow me to pay taxes.

I do vote in Germany per mail. It's a pain, but someone's gotta do it.

I don't plan to get involved in party politics, at least until I retire filthy rich and fund some libertarian coup. :D

Last week I voted that a committee I was on should order pepperoni pizza for their monthly meeting, as opposed to the same boring cheese we always have, but my attempt was shot down by a sudden merger of the Vegetarian and Dieting blocs.
Does that count?

Where's the option for "I plan to run as an independent in the next election"?

You got more done in one meeting than the U.S. Senate. :)

I'm currently not very active but I do vote (you have to vote here (actually you just have to come to the voting and you don't have to bring out a legal vote), but I would do it too if It wasn't compulsory). One day I do think I will join a party.

Yes, the Upper Class, you vile supremacist :mad:

Mwahahaha!!!

I'm a card-carrying member of the NDP, and my blog has shown support for their policies. I have also converted former non-voters into voters, who then voted NDP. :)

I vote in forum polls. Is that good enough?

Never yet lost an election, and run in them since 8 years ago. Booya for being various Pres' and also on the Students' Union!

Can't vote yet, but will able to vote in the upcoming U.S presidential election.

May the Electoral College have mercy on your souls...

Don't vote, it only encourages them.

:p

Full of Win.

I'll be voting in the 2007 local elections. I'm registered as an independent.

Don't vote, it only encourages them.

I am member of a political party and am infamous there for attempting to include IRV as one of the voting procedures for the party-internal matters. Also otherwise active.

Probably I'll soon help party members in a neighboring state soon to get enough signatures so we can run for the election in that state.

I vote, and try to keep informed about precisely how sucky the political candidates are.

How enthusiastic we are!

Man burned once, twice shy.

Man set on fire, cynic for life.

A royal 'We'?

You Monarchy supporter!

I haven't voted in any elections, but that's because I turned 18 last December.

I turned 18 about a week after the last election. I would have voted if I could have.

I thank you for reaching the end of my post without nodding off.

"I vote and I'm in a political interest group" covers it.

I just want to point out the huge amount of pancakes LG's eaten in the last 24 hours.

Didn't Pancake used to post a lot here until LG showed up?

I'm a disfranchised voter. *sigh* :(

I'm in City Council. (hence me not having a lot of time for NS anymore ;) )
