Two Elections, how to allocate those crosses, given recent events?
To decide the mood of other electors, such that a message can be sent.
Most difficult decision I've faced in my long voting life.
Others' views?

UKIP - sends a message about europe and to the main stream parties.

Locals - will vote Tory to make sure those socialist s get the fking message after 12 long st years of absolute stness.

My council are fascist car hating s anyway.

Huge mistake. You must use your vote, if only as a protest, if not, you'll get an even more unrepresentative Government and deservedly so.

Yep, I'm not a huge fan of UKIP or the Tories if I'm honest as I don't think anything will really make any difference but I expect that's exactly how I'll be voting!

To vote shows you support the system, just not the candidates. The lower the turn out the less legitimacy the system has. By spoiling a vote it shows you agree with the system but simply want different monkeys to run the show.

Again a spoiled vote means you approve the system but not the candidates that are standing for election.

Do you honestly think this bunch of aholes give a st about legitimacy? If they just get their family members voting for them and no one else, but this gives them one more vote than the other schmuck, they'll be heads in trough without a moments hessitation.

I don't think changing the schmucks makes any difference.
