Undi Rosak was born out of a few things: a growing frustration with our politics, the feeling of not having an option, the desire to have a voice of protest be heard. But it's not without controversy: proponents argue that it's a valid way to engage with a lack of options, and still exercise their democratic right, but critics say it's not the right way forward. And in this upcoming GE, there's an emerging group of voters who simply do not see the point in voting, and just want to sit it all out. We explore both perspectives, and look at each side of the equation.
