I find it hard to understand the claim that the major political parties are "just the same," as so many people declare, especially when they are looking for a reason to not vote. Anyone even casually exposed to politics can't have missed the enormous number of partisan votes at all levels of government, even the Supreme Court. There are consistent groups of people on opposite sides of almost every vote. How can some people voting "yes" and others voting "no" be "just the same"?
While it's certainly true that final votes come after a political "sausage-making" series of events that include a wide variety of influences, in the end, the voting is almost never bi-partisan.
There are differences among people given the temporary power to run the government. To pretend they aren't there makes matters worse.
