I have voted Green but my vote matters and I can not afford to waste it otherwise the Tories would win the seat.
I think you should always be able to vote for someone who can realistically win, thats all. When a federal election comes down to what loser happens to run in your neighbourhood, it creates a big problem and discourages people from even partaking.
