Don't be neutral

As in real life the most important of our rights as citizens of any country is the right of vote. Vote is important because it gives you the power to direct the results to the ones you want.
I've heard overtime that one vote is insignificant in a final result. NO it is not battles have been won because of one person, elections have been lost because of one vote, rights have been gained or lost because of one vote. I would love to give examples but at the same time I want to keep this article quite short.
Don't be neutral! Make sure you vote every time, every...single....time. A lost vote is a failure. This is how you make a difference, THE difference. Of course in eRepublik we have three different votes.
First vote is the one for the Country President. The head of state, the first man of our country, da boss. Electing the right person is not always easy, but not impossible. Make sure you vote as this is the person who handles the big issues for our country.
Second vote is the one for the Congress Members, your representatives. These are the people who will support your rights, the people who will influence the change. They will be elected through the party you will vote in the elections, you make sure you choose the right one. Of course you want to see people with passion who will fight until they will get what is right for the people. I personally found comfort in the family of We The People. I don't want to advertise them, as I want to keep this article neutral. But through this family I found help when I needed to understand wtf is going on in eRepublik, they helped me anyway they could. Enough with that, last vote
Last vote is the one of the Party President, the person who is in charge of the party. The one who influences everything, sometimes all of the above. Choose right.
I hope that article is as good as I want it to be. Please remember choose the right party and the right people, but most important don't forget to vote.

Dont agree with the notion that "no vote" is a failure. I believe quite the opposite is true.....random votes that dont reflect the true preferences are a failure because they will result in random results that dont represent the will of the people.

So people, if you dont like any candidate: Dont vote and falsify the result!

You will never find the perfect candidate. The one who says exactly what you want, there is no thing such as perfect. What you need is to give your vote to the right person, the one who says the closest to what you want. Not giving the vote to a person like that means you don't care, not giving your vote to people who care is wrong. This article is about knowing what you are voting, the duty of voting and how important is to find out who the hell are these candidates. Many new players are joining in and just vote whatever they see first on the list, the first person in the list doesn't always mean that it is the right person. The point of this article is to start making the people thinking before the vote, know before the vote, learn the consequences before they vote, don't vote as a mindless sheep.

I never said one should look for a perfect candidate. A "good enough" candidate would be, well, good enough. But in a situation where none of the candidates reach my expectations my vote will always be "no vote". Doesn't mean I dont care, "no vote" is a vote in itself.

With the rest of what you said, I do agree and it reflects what I said above: Dont just vote randomly, inform yourself, dont be a mindless sheep and THEN vote.
