In this episode, Niall explores whether the right to complain starts at the polls. With the upcoming local and European elections in Ireland, voter turnout is a critical issue.

Many people choose not to vote due to their disappointment with the political system and the failure of elected representatives to fulfill their promises. Some believe that voting won't make a difference, while others feel uninformed about the issues and candidates.

However, there are those who emphasize the importance of voting. They argue that if we want change, we need to use our voice and cast our ballots. Low voter turnout only strengthens the status quo, and holding our representatives accountable through voting is essential for a functioning democracy.

On the other hand, some callers suggest that while voting is important, it's not the only way to participate in democracy. They believe that voter apathy stems from a broader disillusionment with the political system and advocate for other forms of civic participation, such as community organizing and activism.

The discussion highlights the complexities surrounding voter turnout and civic engagement. While some emphasize the importance of voting as a fundamental right in a democracy, others point to deeper issues that contribute to voter apathy. As the elections approach, it's essential to consider how to address these issues and encourage broader civic participation.
