OK, I dont know your political stripe, I would assume not Grit or Tory. BUT, has your party made a difference in opposition? Some of the best bills and some of the best changes have come from the opposition parties, not the ruling parties.
Voting for a party that is not a winner does not mean your party will not make a difference.
I do agree with you however, there are better potitical systems out there for electing who will run our country. Now, we have to care enough to try and make that happen.
