Was there really no party that's at least better than the PVV, even if they all suck? If all the people who didn't vote at all had voted a different party instead, the results would look different. I know that's unrealistic/idealized, but still theoretically true.
Not voting may be a symbolic statement, but it's a powerless one. It's not as bad as the people who protest-vote for a right-wing or other radical parties, but it's still less constructive than voting for a party that may be the lesser of two evils, but at least... the lesser of two evils?
I don't know, I'm going to vote.

I'm pretty much against Europe as it is. It's mostly money mongering. Every is all for green, like clean power and all that. The technology is there, no one uses it. We PAY for people debating for hours on end achieving nothing. The whole thing is totally not transparant at all. It just sucks.

Like it or not, it's there.
I am sure I've read your complaints in the manifestos of some parties, definitely also the problem of how little influence the people have etc. Would you consider voting for a party who aims to change this?

That brings me to the original problem, having 2 parties (on pro Europe one anti-Europe) isn't going to do much good. THey'll be in constant debate about it, probably achieving very little. Democracy is a great idea, but it doesn't function here like it should. If a country is at constant odds for it's needs and people's desires, thing will only get worse.
