Operation Greek vote

One of the comments made by several readers is whether there is a need for us to organise as a Greek community. I would imagine the answer to  that question would be that in an ideal world we should not need to do this but unfortunately we do not live in a perfect world and discrimination against some in the community is still to be seen. The only valid and known way to engage with the democratic system of any country is for citizens to get involved and be able to vote. I frequently hear of stories from older members of the community who feel left out and younger people who do not believe that their needs and interests are protected in the same way as others. The only way to exercise any influence over this is to have a voice and the best way to have a strong voice is through the ballot box.
