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.

It's still a voice though - and a particularly important voice if it's the minority voice. I have little respect for any adult in our country who is chooses not to vote. As surferguy said, grow up and do your job.
