Yes that why the Libs lost the Vic election because they we too busy fighting the "War on terror" to fix the level crossings.

You may well be right Haduwel? But how would we know? Because you claim it to be so!?
Got any names or actual proof of corrupt behavior on the part of any politician?

And limit yourself to Australia and outside the prison system or the ICAC inquiry.
Surely not all Australian politicians are in the thrall of corporate boardrooms.

Not voting may indicate your dissatisfaction or quite blatant apathy? But to whom? Mr Putin perhaps?

Not voting is simply giving your vote to the incumbent as is an invalid vote! And hardly an effective way to actually register a protest.

A better scheme would be to always place the incumbent last on the ballot paper!
But particularly when corporations need time to groom/turn corruptible politicians.
Who out of office and favor, may very well respond with a tell all, that earns them considerable retirement funds?

Simply put, if all those now not voting chose instead to not only do so, but vote as a single unit/with one voice! They could usher in a new government each and every time, and given a term is not more than 4 years, insufficient time for big money to successfully corrupt honest politicians!
Rhrosty.
