Perhaps, but that doesn't make it equivalent to the opposite of altruism, either...MrJonno wrote:My vote says its not altruism

Re: Look out for the crash !!
If people were voting for the good of others or the country then why bother with voting at all. Just have a committee of the good and wise to run the country permanent, in fact just have an enlightened dictator
Dictatorships can in theory be altruist ,democracy never can
Democracy is just a way of people who don't like each other avoiding being in a permanent state of war (well actually its still war just without the bodies)

determin who is good and wise, how do you?
One man's wise man is the other's fool, just look at recent popes.

Could it perhaps be a recognition of reciprocity? Do unto others...MrJonno wrote:If people were voting for the good of others or the country then why bother with voting at all.

Re: Look out for the crash !!
I in no way recognise most the population as my equals, they may have equal rights but that doesn't make them equal to me. Some are brighter than me, a lot more are really really stupid. However I accept for society to function without continuous conflict everyone gets the vote.
I agree with Seth in looking down at the most of the human race but where I differ is 10000 stupid people are more than a match for 1 very bright MrJonno so we all have to make accommodation
