Re: Totally off-topic poll

And by not participating, you do sort of forfeit the right to complain about the outcome. After all, YOU certainly didn't do anything about it.

There has been growing coverage in the media of "disillusioned voters" largely backed up by statistics of a falling turn out at elections.
You can see the effects of me -*not doing anything about it*- on Primetime news.

I *CAN*, however, indicate my dissatisfaction with both major parties by voting for neither of them. Then I spend the rest of the next 4 years complaining about it. Then I do it again.

If you spend the next 4 years complaining about how another party would have done it better, then you have no excuse for not voting. If you see a viable party you believe would better represent you, vote for them. If you believe your political system has no such party, because major parties seek to occupy the middle ground just to be elected...
...like I said - my choice is heard on Primetime news. Show me another, more effective way to represent my dissatisfaction with the system.
