Not in a country like Belgium or The Netherlands. Like belgium, The Netherlands (and many other european countries) has a multi-party system. This mostly means there is no single party that has a majority. So you need to find other parties and form compromises. At the moment we will end up with a three party government, that consists of a center party, a socialist party and a socialist christian party. The latter one has only 6 seats out of 150. A small party, but it made this government possible. So in this case a vote to a small party was not wasted....doesn't voting for a small meaningless party make your vote sound meaningless?
