Before the changes to election financing at least your vote got a small subsidy sent to the party of your choice each year. Now, your vote doesn't even do that. All that your vote does now is potentially affect the ability of the person you voted for to get a rebate back on election expenditures.

I always thought it was silly the party essentially got money for each vote they got. Glad that was done away with.
