There's People On The Left Who Say, The Ballot Box Is A Waste Of Time. Forget Them. When Mandela Voted For The First Time At The Age Of 76 There Was A Lot Of Grown Men, Including Me, Wept Buckets. That Was What It Was About. It Doesn't Solve Things, But It Gives You The Mechanism To Hold To Account The People With Power.
