What about taxpayers? They fund the government and it's mistakes.
I believe that if all the options are crap, why waste a vote on parties that you do not feel will do the best job?

Some want the 5% threshold lowered to 1 or 2%, so there's more representation in parliament!
Can anyone imagine having the miligicarty serious party or destiny in parliament trying to make rules?
I think monkeys would make better laws
MMP could work if we raised the threshold to 5% and 1 seat or 10% whichever is reached, thus getting rid of the greens (a party vote only party), and most proberly NZ first

Complete and utter sanctimonious bullshit
How does the fact I do not vote diminish my ability to have a valid opinion about the quality of government?
