I was considering voting for the pirate party, but they polled at less than 5% in France and it was not a useful vote, which was evidently needed.

Eh, I'd much rather vote for a party that aligns with my values but might not get a seat, in hopes it will inspire more people to do so next time around.

Vote your conscience while you can. I'm pretty much stuck voting for slightly left of center candidates (in the US) because the opposition is to the right of Kim Jong Un depending on the issue.
