Voting

[Burtsplurt]

In the recent British election, I was faced with a choice between three parties, who all, more or less, occupied the centre. The Conservatives were slightly to the right, The Liberals slightly to the left. Where's the choice?

And as I don't trust any of the parties as far as I can throw them (apart from the Lib Dems, who seem okay), I didn't see the point in voting.

I just don't see the point. The way I see it, if 40-50% of the population don't vote, then maybe someone, somewhere will realise that Things Aren't Right. Maybe instead of parties, we'll get independents. Maybe we'll get a party who listen, believe in what they do and don't break promises. Maybe we'll get something a bit more radical.
