Just been reading my local town forum with its resident UKIP foolishness. Some other contributors, not necessarily UKIP, saying vote for whoever is going to do their best for the town regardless of party lines. I haven't heard the result yet but it'll be either a big tory turd or an even bigger UKIP turd thanks to the local reactionaries.
I did go to the polling station after all and wrote my views on the ballot paper. I certainly did not vote Labour just to keep the other two out; I despise Labour as much as the others. And for that reason I don't believe voting should be compulsory. As every year goes by I am more convinced the whole elected representative thing is a sham anyway.
Power to the people.
