Voting is Pointless because I have a strong-interest in Democracy

[Papewaio]

Derail, but I don't vote *because* I have a strong interest in democracy.

It's like if you were a great art lover, would you accept a postcard with some 5 year old's scrawl on it and accept that as the best you can get?

If you are in a kindergarten then you vote for the best one. And the next time you vote for someone else.

If nothing else voting against the incumbent is the best default tactic as a voter as swing seats get the most loot. Also a lot of politician entitlements are tenure based. So if they show no promise give them the flick and reduce the cost long term. Rinse and repeat until you find someone with the ability to scrawl like a ten year old.
