if a referendum or election has an impact its because the elites screwed up and didn't rig them properly. no system truly allows opposition to itself, it will always demand total adherence to its fundamental tenants even if it allows the illusion of opposition. when and if you vote, you should think like a saboteur and pick the options you think will actually hinder the elite and slow up the system for awhile while recognizing that the current system cannot be truly reformed, only replaced. the long term aim of all your political actions should be to harm the present system enough that it becomes weak enough to overthrow and replace.
