From This article For the 42nd parliament 2008-2010

“…, even the very notion of ‘the people’ is amorphous as a representative cannot possibly represent the full diversity of ‘the people’ and all their divergent and conflicting interests.”

And

“that due to voters’ ignorance, apathy and irrationality and the diversity of views and interests of thousands (and in the case of the Senate, millions) of constituents, it is difficult for representatives to accurately gauge the views and interests of the electorate.”

From this article:

“Remember that other’s opinions are based on their own limitations and limiting beliefs – they are not the experts on what is right for you. Relying on someone else to make a decision for you diminishes your own power and confidence in your abilities.”

Article that talks of research showing it iseasier to make decisions for someone else.

If you vote for any politician, what you are doing is voting for the continuation of the current system of SUPPOSED representative democracy. If you don't want the present system to continue you can vote for yourself. Write your name on the ballot paper, put a box beside it and write the number one, in it.

It WILL be counted as an informal vote. When the informal votes are more than the votes for the candidates it will be proof that the majority of people do not want representative democracy.

Look up Direct democracy or any of the many other alternatives.

If you vote as per the system, you are voting for REPRESENTATIVE democracy. Meaning you are relinquishing some of your decision-making to an individual person. Supposedly your representative.

If you vote outside of what is regarded as a formal vote you are voting against REPRESENTATIVE democracy. An alternative to representative democracy is, DIRECT DEMOCRACY. That is were YOU vote on issues. No middle person. Look up what it is.

The total number of informal votes ARE counted. Even though the present laws don't allow for it, if more than 50% of people vote informal it indicates people do not want the present representative democracy system.

You can vote informal by not putting a number against each candidate.
