I have always said, if you don't vote then keep your quiet, as you you haven't got an opinion, and you don't want things to be better ( even if the same party stays in power); but if you vote you do have one and do want things to change or get better ( even if the same party stays in power); if you do nothing that what you want to happen.......... nothing different.

It's your country and family that gets affected in the long run, and those who choose not to vote seem not to care about those very important things. I believe in New Zealand it is the same as in the USA that you don't have to vote. We all look at voting differently, even if we are not politically motivated.
