    I know of several Aus voters who'd welcome the chance to parade outside the polling booth with a placard saying "I'm deliberately not voting because NONE of you bastards deserve my vote" and not risk a huge fine.
    LOL you are kidding right?

    There are 66 different parties in Australia which voters can elect.

    Just a few:

    Australian Motoring Enthusiasts Party

    Australian Democrats

    Building Australia Party

    Democratic Labour Party

    Socialist Alliance Party

    Uniting Australia Party

    If Aussie voters can't find something they like in all of those choices, pity help them.

    As someone who lived with Carmel in the past all I can say is "Good Luck".
    I had great times with many Islanders - but she is just a slob and a thief.

    - i mean, i know i'm a sweet old fashioned thing but surely you HAVE to have a a community focus, a dedication to serving the electorate ... and how can you do that if you don't have your finger on the pulse?
    Under MMP the local candidates can do all of that, win their electorate and still lose their constituent's party vote. Labour actually won just 5 electorates by party votes.

    Most of the idiots here slinging shit about not voting as a protest agin' "the system" seem to have overlooked that little nugget: you can be as personable, friendly, helpful and competent as a candidate can well be but unless your party's policy represents what the voters want you simply won't get to implement them.

    I wonder how many picked that effect could be quite so decisive when they voted for MMP...

    Oh yes, they do. Some of them anyway.

    There are two very valid reasons not to vote - if you genuinely don't care or you have absolutely no confidence in any of the slimy bastards.

    For the former I agree with you. They have no opinion either way so they have effectively voted evenly for ALL parties.

    However, those that have no confidence in any party have effectively voted for none. If I could've voted no confidence then I would've put tick to paper. As it stands, if I had voted for any party it would've been a lie.
