Well, I of course believe you absolutely must vote.

But right now there is no party I would feel comfortable voting for. I have serious issues with every parties stance in some form or other.

So I'm in a bit of a pickle. Maybe I should run myself...

I guess the normal response is to pick the party I least disagree with, but for the first time I really find myself thinking I wish there was a vote for 'no confidence' in all parties - I'd be mightily curious how many people would feel the same.

You could void your ballot paper, but I guess if you do that you might as well not vote. Just go for the lesser of evils then I guess.

Yeah, that's what I know I'll do.  I take the view if you don't vote you're not just forefeiting your input into the country's direction, but putting yourself in a position where you can hardly grumble at whatever the goverment did as you were too lazy to vote.

Hopefully when the next elections roll around one of the parties will stand out for me a bit more.  I'm not a 'lifer' voter who sticks to one party no matter what, I vote for the party I really believe is right at that time - hopefully one of them will look like the right choice!
