It has always been amazing to me to see how the election cycles all over the globe seem to coincide. It gives a feeling of a big global conspiracy to keep the regular folks controlled. Jamaica is having our local government elections coming in the last week of February.
And its the same thing again just a bit more modern than the last election in 2016. Here, Jamaicans pretty much don't even understand the purpose of local government elections and treat it like general elections. So the changes that are necessary for them locally, in their Constituency are not actualized if they don't have a close relationship with their representatives. Jamaicans pretty much vote along party lines. Whether the JLP or PNP and most times based on which party pays higher for thier vote.
I also want change in how our voting syatems work. the integration of blockchain technology would be promising. I don't think the candidate you are more inclined to vote for, understands crypto. I think he just playing with the interests of the young people. But lets hope he can bring if its even a small change for you, grandma and the rest of the family.
While blockchain has that ability to avoid double spending or double votes and could be cheaper too but the infrastructure in most countries aren't just there yet. There are also problem with security that even in my country isn't goo enough. So,while it's a good idea it isn't really feasible just yet. Honestly, that candidate might have been throwing some buzz word around but that's a +1 step to something new in the country since the previous presidents and its vice presidents are boomers and we need a change :D
true. May be you could try reaching out to that politician to see where his mindset and true intentions are. perhaps right a letter to his office and see if he responds.
Then slowly the infrastructure can be developed to match the vision.
