This one goes out to my Brisbane compadres.

I have only turned 18 as of June last year, in that time, I've now voted twice. Kinda exciting, being a part of the system, but also a pain when I wish I could vote any other day of the week (I'm guarunteed to be working at least every Saturday around uni).

So there's no major issue with all of this, except for the advertisers. I must look like an attractive little swing voter because I'm young and I must not know the facts behind my decisions when I'm voting.

I don't mind having the vote, or having to go vote on a day I usually work, but when I'm being accosted, I can't stand it! Leave me alone, I won't vote for you and if I am voting for you, chill out, you already got me. Mostly what bothers me is the aggression at which they strike. I'm rude enough to just say no but the average person is too polite.

Anyway - people advertising, nay forcing opinions on, at elections. Fair enough, or should be banned?
