Thats a bit unfair. I couldn't be arsed to vote but thats was a fair amount influenced by not having a clue who to vote for:

Tories: Generally anti europe which I'm not, expense claims for cleaning moats and duck houses, David 'I'm a bit too smarmy for my own boots' Cameron (I prefer William Haig), generally pro countryside (a good thing) but at the same time too many buffoons and for me too many bad recollections of the devastation caused by Margaret Thatcher. All about sound bites and spin and never answer direct questions.

Labour: Gordon bleeding prudent, does that funny thing with his jaw when speaking, Brown. Benefit cheats the lot of them, too socialist and left wing, mess about with the tax and benefits system to the point of being incomprehensible. All about sound bites and spin and never answer direct questions

Liberals: Ha! Just ha!

Were it a general election I guess I'd probably have voted conservative but only on the basis of disliking marginally less about them than all the others
