I am pretty lucky that I work out of town, so I am typically able to do an absentee ballot. This means I don't have to go and wait in line or any of that. I have done that in the past though so I have definitely gotten to feel the full experience of voting. I hope things go the way you want them to. I think our next election is going to be a crap-show.

I could do a postal vote too, but it's just a short walk to the polling station from home and I feel like getting the full experience on the rare times I get to vote. The result was worse than I expected, but life will go on. We have similar issues to you politically. We need to keep people talking about the issues.
Ah, okay, I am thinking I might just vote third party this year even though it probably won't make a difference.
Anywhere with 'first past the post' a vote for a minority party may not do any good, but if you have two dominant parties then they have no incentive to change it. Recently the dedicated Brexit party got a large share of the vote and no MPs, but they did well in the European elections as people used that as a protest vote against the main parties.
I try not to give up hope of improvements and may get more politically active.
