No it doesn't, it lumps you with the tossers who don't vote and then
complain.

Then why complain? If you're out of the system how the hell can you expect
to change it. Sitting on your arse does absolutely nothing because no-one
knows you're wasted vote or spoiled paper is dissent, they just think you're
a tosser for not voting. Change doesn't come about by whingers WCBATV and
instead do nothing. Change needs people to do something about it.
I believe every vote, whoever is voted for, counts. One man and his vote
can make a difference. If you decide to either not vote, or spoil a paper
and thus effectively not vote, all you do is add to the problem.
