Yes, to an extent. The votes are incredibly biased due to the constituency system, which is why the Lib Dems are pushing for proportional representation. But to use the flaws as a reason to bouycott the system is more detrimental to voicing your system. On the other hand, abstaining from voting so as to show your distaste for the policies of each of the main parties can be a powerful tool. So basically, register to vote but don't feel required to actually vote. Not to mention that you should already be talking to your MP if you want change. He's there for you and the constituency, he should be available to talk to about issues and he should be willing to do something about things that the constituency feels strongly about regardless of the party policy. If not, vote in someone else next election because he's failing his constituency.
