Profound Quote of the Day
"It's not who votes,that counts. It's who counts the votes, that counts."
In a comment from Old & Angry on the Kenya thread.
It's Stalin and it's a very old quote.
ReplyDeleteI think the Stalin original was "those who cast the votes decide nothing; those who count the votes decide everything"
ReplyDeleteFor what it's worth, I always think choosing the candidates is of greatest importance.
ReplyDeleteSomething Stalin's (early) career exemplifies particularly well!
Which is why party lists and government funding of political parties would both be terrible for our nation.
