All Art Is Quite Useless


When I'm not writing stories, I'm writing essays. My keyboard sees fairly frequent use. University student, high functioning Rainbow Dash enthusiast, and satirical activist.

An election looms, and Rainbow only has three hours to put her ballot paper in the box. Will she get there in time? Not if the rest of Equestria have anything to say about it.

(Please remember to vote today!)

That’s actually hilarious, I should have considered that.

Although, if that’s the case, I’m sure you’ll appreciate Big Mac’s position on matters, being red, and all.

Regardless, thanks man! Hope you enjoy it.

I really needed a smile today, and this delivered!
Also, genuinely a surprisingly nuanced and well-written breakdown of the parties, so thanks for that too.

What are we voting for again?

Thank you, and thank you again! I’m very glad this had its desired effect, and that you found my parody to be at least marginally accurate!

Comments like this one make me happy.

This is centred around the UK general elections, which are happening today, but I’m sure some of the party descriptions etc. in this fic are applicable to governments from other nations, so I’d imagine anyone could enjoy this fic, and the point it makes, equally!

“A complete and utter waste of a vote,” Twilight responded, prompting Rarity to nod in concurrence. “Each pony only gets one vote, yet some choose to waste it on a party that is never going to be elected, and all it does is help to make the entire voting process an exercise in futility.”

This is the same reason that America is so messed up. The past election would have far been better if more people would have voted third party. As it stands our choices in America are slightly better then it is in North Korea, China, and Cuba. At least in the rest of the civilized world there are usually multiple political parties in all levels of government instead of the two that have America by the balls.

I wouldn’t say that its an entirely dissimilar situation here in the UK, but the Green Party, Liberal Democrats, SNP, and UKIP all garner a fair amount of votes. I do definitely appreciate your opinion though, and I’m glad to see that this story’s message is applicable over the pond too!

Thanks very much for reading, and offering your opinion.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'll tell you what: If there's another general election this year I'll write Opinions 2: Maximum Bias. Deal?

How you resisted a "strong and stable" horse pun here I will never know. :pinkiehappy:

As far as I remember, I did consider it. Hell, maybe if there's another GE this year I'll throw it in the sequel! (Because of course this thing would get a sequel.)
