But like Adrian, It seem to me not voting signals acceptance of status quo. I'd even expand this to include the larger voter population. We always get those navel-gazing reports about the low turnout in federal elections. It never worries me because if something was really bothering people they'd make time to vote. Not voting is a signal that everything is mostly okay. Personally I don’t have a problem with Liberals deciding not to vote.

He publicly states the budget is bad real bad and then his worker bees can't be bothered to show up to vote. The MP after the Libs’ names means Missing Persons, alas Iggy looks like an idiot.
