RE: What would get me to the ballot box?

first-past-the-post voting system is what we use here in Nigeria this has been very bad and not the right way to promote democracy because people can't even have their say when they are offered money to sell their vote in which they agree to it and sell and this as bring bad people that have no good intentions for the country.
Parties should be abolished too because some parties leader here in Nigeria are the reason why Nigeria is not going forward and they are becoming powerful everyday to the extent that they can promise you the presidency post and will win the election.
To change everything you will be very difficult because even if that are smart and all fight against this what of people that speak for thier self

I see the same patterns of manipulation in many countries using similar versions of the same political system. It has worked well for them and has been successful at maintaining power with the few. From what you describe, the Nigerian political system sounds considerably more broken than what we have in the UK. Reversing the situation will be incredibly difficult. Sadly, it is likely that things will become worse before they get better.
