They're not voting because...

If the parties grew up and earned some respect, instead of trying to score points off each other, I'd bother to vote. As it is I think they're all equally a waste of space and, since a spoiled vote is counted the same as no vote, I see no point in actually casting my vote. Grow up, parties, treat the public whom you serve with some respect, LISTEN to what we say for a change and stop trying to bullshit us with the same tired excuses and arse-covering. We've seen it all before and are sick to death of it. We don't want to know what the other party isn't going to do for us, we want to know what you ARE going to do for us. Let's have some positive and open discussions instead of the usual propoganda campaigns and empty promises. I won't hold my breath waiting for such changes, however.
