Your individual votes count for one and no more than one, in constituencies of 50 to 60 thousand voters, of whom maybe half will vote.

Changing policies and parties takes time and commitment and much discussion and not a little compromise with like minded people.

That's why we have political parties. Stop going on about one vote. Join a party and do something while you still have the chance. The course of party politics is going down hill.

We may end up with the American experience where only the very rich can stand for president and most people dont bother to vote.
