That's democracy, if enough people agree with your views and vote the same as you, you will change the government.
If not you are in a minority view and people don't agree with your views you must accept the majority opinion.
Its better than dictatorship.

sad thing is... that's all a lot of people care about, country be d*mned

The elected party is only a face to blame - the country is run in exactly the same way, whichever party is "in-charge", wink, wink...

not voting is a vote, it means you have a vote of no confidence in anybody who lies.
