That's the essence of proportional representation, you get to say a quantifiable amount of approval. However, in a two party 'someone -will- win' type system, voting for one party is directly equivalent to voting against the other. Abstaining from voting has absolutely no effect (if 98% of voters abstained, the remaining 2% would still decide the leader)
