This is a question My Arch-nemesis

I lived in fear of a Darth Vader-esque school dinner lady who stood me perpetually at the naughty table for refusing to eat mushy peas. An ordeal made worse after I was caught spooning the accursed veg into her wellies. Who, we ask, has wrecked your life?

Thanks to Philly G for the suggestion

Then you need to get over yourself and accept that parties change, priorities change, and there's only one way that you can change things
Or, y'know, you can just sit there and whine about how it's all so unfair and that you don't like it, but just don't be surprised when people don't take you seriously when you do so.

What? How is that even relievent to what I just said?
I shouldn't vote because I've not educated myself on the issue enough, I'm saying that I don't agree with any party on every issue, so would be voting for something I don't believe in.

Or is this one of those "Woooh, I'm so politicly aware, I'm voting so I can look down on people who don't" things?

No, I think this is one of those...
..."do something to try and make a difference, rather than act like an apathetic pedantic tosspot" kind of things.

Why is it down to me to 'make a difference' ?
Would you like to choose my vote for me? is that what you want? You can have it if you want.

Alrighty, fine. But..
...agree that abstaining from voting comes with the caveat that whatever happens over the next 4 years (that is politically influenced) is absolutely fine with you, irrespective of what actually occurs.

No one's asking you to agree with every party on every issue.
They're asking if you WANT - to assess them and vote for who you feel is best to do the job.

Wrap it up cynically if you like - "who do you think is the least bad?"

Either way, either do something to change the system (or not, if you like it how it is), or accept what you're given.

If you don't say what you want, don't complain about what you get. No one's telepathic.
