I do like the symbolism of empty seats, representing the non-vote. I even had some ideas about organizing a No Confidence party that would legally bind itself not to attend or vote in parliament.But the problem in practice is it concentrates the power of elected representatives in an smaller and even less representative number of hands. What if your 5 votes (or whatever) were the difference between something awesome happening (eg ending drug prohibition) or not?<\/p>","url":"https:\/\/mastodon.nzoss.nz\/@strypey\/100329198522684097","status_net":{"notice_id":null},"inReplyTo":{"objectType":"note","id":"https:\/\/mastodon.nzoss.nz\/users\/strypey\/statuses\/100329177346182975","url":"https:\/\/mastodon.nzoss.nz\/@strypey\/100329177346182975"}},"to":[{"objectType":"http:\/\/activitystrea.ms\/schema\/1.0\/person","id":"https:\/\/mastodon.social\/users\/rysiek"},{"objectType":"http:\/\/activitystrea.ms\/schema\/1.0\/person","id":"https:\/\/niu.moe\/users\/Wolf480pl"},{"objectType":"http:\/\/activitystrea.ms\/schema\/1.0\/person","id":"https:\/\/chaos.social\/users\/ente"},{"objectType":"http:\/\/activitystrea.ms\/schema\/1.0\/person","id":"https:\/\/chaos.social\/users\/pesco"},{"objectType":"http:\/\/activitystrea.ms\/schema\/1.0\/collection","id":"http:\/\/activityschema.org\/collection\/public"}],"status_net":{"conversation":"tag:mastodon.social,2018-07-03:objectId=40555591:objectType=Conversation","notice_info":{"local_id":"558112","source":"ostatus"}},"published":"2018-07-06T18:34:37+00:00","provider":{"objectType":"service","displayName":"Jonkman Microblog","url":"https:\/\/gs.jonkman.ca\/"},"verb":"post","url":"https:\/\/mastodon.nzoss.nz\/@strypey\/100329198522684097"},{"actor":{"id":"https:\/\/mastodon.nzoss.nz\/users\/strypey","displayName":"Strypey","status_net":{"avatarLinks":[{"url":"https:\/\/gs.jonkman.ca\/avatar\/11449-original-20200321042559.jpeg","rel":"avatar","type":"image\/jpeg","width":295,"height":295},{"url":"https:\/\/gs.jonkman.ca\/avatar\/11449-96-20200321050303.jpeg","rel":"avatar","type":"image\/jpeg","width":96,"height":96},{"url":"https:\/\/gs.jonkman.ca\/avatar\/11449-48-20200321045224.jpeg","rel":"avatar","type":"image\/jpeg","width":48,"height":48},{"url":"https:\/\/gs.jonkman.ca\/avatar\/11449-24-20200321050343.jpeg","rel":"avatar","type":"image\/jpeg","width":24,"height":24}],"profile_info":{"local_id":"11449"}},"image":{"url":"https:\/\/gs.jonkman.ca\/avatar\/11449-96-20200321050303.jpeg","rel":"avatar","type":"image\/jpeg","width":96,"height":96},"objectType":"person","summary":"
