Thanks to the Chrétien legacy, we might be stuck wiht minorities for a long time.
Every vote gives 2$ a year to the party, this means the Greens will have almost 2m$ a year from the govt, which is enormeous for a party with no MPs.
This gives them more advertizing power comes elections time, and more votes (to a certain extent).
So yes every vote counts. |

| oic, short term pain for long term gain...we should have had Harper out with a majority Liberal govt, then this country would have fared better for the next 4 years IMHO. Now it's gonna be for the next god knows how long just so the Green party can keep building its ty advertizing budget. :wtf: |

Except by not voting you are showing that you do agree with the system since you are indifferent with what the system chooses for you (aka "I'm fine with whatever party wins").
It's possible (not likely, but possible) to change the system if you vote based on who you vote for. On the other hand, it's impossible to change the system if you don't vote at all. You say one thing, but your lack of action accomplishes the exact opposite. Stupid imo.
Edit: the non-voters and the "i'm not voting for parties that have no chance of winning" people should just vote Communist in the next election, since that's the political ideology that best represents their beliefs. |

That's about the least intelligent statement I've read on politics. Dude, you're a in' nobody and your views on "the system" mean absolutely sweet dick all unless you're going to act on them. If you really think "the system" is flawed then you should be trying to change it, which can really only be done from within it. You've given up your right to an opinion by choosing to abstain from involvement.
All that said, chances are you just profess to have this "the system is bull" mentality because you either; a) are too lazy to take the time or effort to understand it; or b) you figure it's less pathetic to profess that position then it is to just admit that you're incapable or unwilling to participate. No one who actually understands politics would ever believe that the best way to deal with it is to simply stay uninvolved. |

Nope. My suggestion to vote Communist applies to those also, because if they don't care who they vote for as long as it's not the current party, they might as well vote Communist. |

You know what I wrote in the cor... I don't need to write it here too.
Politics is a bull system put in place to hide social corruption. Candidates put forth by the system and voted in by people to continue running a garbage system. |
bahahaha. |

Just because I think the system is flawed doesn't mean I give a flying to change the system. It's a system that has been put in place many many years ago and its not going to change. Those who want to make a difference can take their sweet ass time while I lay on the beach enjoying my pinacolada.
This is why I don't get involved in politics. Why should I have to stress over some jerk off politian or a system that has always overpromised but underdelivered.
Adapt to the new changes and move on with yourlife. If you don't like the new changes and don't want to adapt then head to the ing mountains. |

So what you're really saying is that; a) it isn't really flawed (or at least enough that it should concern anyone), and b) that's not really why you're not involved. Just admit it... you're too lazy or self-centred to care. You can try to justify it all you like but ultimately it just boils down to you being too lazy or self-centred... probably both. |
