Everyone pushes voting and sure, you should vote if you're able, but the other half of the puzzle is you need to have good options to vote for.

Politicians are relatively low paid for the expertise we want and so many of the folks running are people looking to supplement their income with influence peddling and grift.

This is why I wrote such a strong statement I don't have anyone to vote for and looking back at the history of my country I had never had a politican I would have wanted to vote for.

No. It's always been that you get to choose the least bad option. Unless you fall for the personality cults that sometimes develop around politicians.
