I voted... will I vote in the next election? Maybe, but probably not... why?

Living in the riding of calgary SW and not being a supporter of the conservatives/reform/alliance party doesn't really give my vote much of a say, so why bother?
Others more learned might correct me but I believe every vote goes to generating a certain amount of federal funding for the party you are supporting, within a certain threshhold to eliminate fringe parties.

So technically, if I have that right, every vote does help advance your opinion in a way.
