Democracy is a responsibility, and one people should take more seriously than sending blind votes to whomever is wearing their team colours.
It’s the only way to ensure you’re actually represented the way you want to be, and it’s also the best way to form good parties. Of course, it’s a fantasy, I don’t think a lot of voters look beyond the party or the leader, but it’d make a hell of a lot of sense.

The reality is that every single party has some of these people. If a party was made up solely of this type of people then you have a point but that's simply not the case as all the parties are mostly comprised of good people. I agree about not voting strictly on party as I'm probably one of the few people here that actually voted for nearly every party once including the Liberals.
