Something is wrong in Chile

I'm not going to vote in the 2013 elections for president in Chile. I think that this is not a real way of participation for people who doesn't have any political power.

The Chilean democracy does not really allow to people to decide in their country. I think that a way to discredit the election system is avoiding vote. I’m not interested in support to a candidate whose interest isn't in the people.

The problem is that when somebody doesn't vote, the mass media often say that the persons who don't vote are not interested in politics or the country.

I think that the politicians should have to be persons faithful to their principles and they have to be really representatives and interested in people. The actual political class is an oligarchic class, and they benefit their personal interests. The political system in Chile does not allow that a person who doesn't have any power or money, become an authority in the Government.

The political campaigns spend a lot of money in advertising and they contaminate the country, but they not spread their political principles or their real intentions to get a political position. They just favor to people with little things to convince them to vote. I think that the correct way to make a political campaign is talking to the people, debating and educating politically to the population for a long time, but they get close to people just in elections time.

I wouldn't like to become a politician; I prefer to work constantly in constructing political principles for the people and educating them to understand the inequality system and participate in politics.
