I blame voter apathy on our electoral system. I'm in a Conservative stronghold so any vote for the other parties is meaningless. If we had PR, then a non-Conservative vote here would have more value (or a Conservative vote in a Liberal stronghold).

I often wished I could vote for the Prime Minister directly. Many times the guy I wanted to be PM isn't with the party I want running things.
