So I have to pay taxes, but I can't vote. That sucks.
Cheers,

Try not to let it ruin your day. Of the 6 countries I have lived in, I was able to vote in only one, the United States of America, where I was born.
Every other country in the world that I know of does the same thing, so this is one thing you cannot pin on our system.
Become a citizen and you can vote to your hearts content.
