888 - see your point, but thats why the last national only had about 25% turnout. Parties are nearly the same now, and all the opposition do is just as the word suggests, oppose the power even if the idea is a good one. But, big but, we still (just) live in a democracy and must use whatever power, no matter how small, to the maximum affect.
Doing it now - getting involved! Rock on!
