To vote for a candidate is to give your aproval for their policies, to grant them the right to represent your franchise in Parliament. I do not want to give either to the avalible candidates. Basicly, this is a slighty more elaborate version pf the 'none of the above' argument.

Currently all the parties fail to recognise the simple fact that the purpose of a government is to serve - not to rule. The monarch is the one who rules (and does so perfectly in my opinion - ie not at all). In America, they pay at least lip service to the concept of 'public service', and do so vocally. Here they speak of 'leadership' and 'government'.
The state directly controls about 40% of domestic product. If you include indirect influence they exert far more control. They're running the 'I don't do politics' adverts on TV again. For at least half of the examples, all I can say is why is that a matter for politics?
The government takes our money and decides what we want for it - yet fails to recognize that many of us don't want anything from them - of rather want what we want, not the approximate 'one size fits all' offering from the state. The best form of government is none at all, that it is needed is a necessary evil, and my 'apathy' stems from this - I disapprove of all the options, because they fail to recognize that idea.
