'There is nothing more isolated, atomised and individualistic than voting. It is the act of one person in a box by themselves.'
I thought this was weird because it seemed to be saying that secret ballots were always bad. I voted in a secret ballot in an election for my union branch. Was I 'isolated, atomised, and individualistic' when I did this? Bullshit. I was having my say about policy. And I prefer secret ballot to open voting.
