I have not read the whole thread (cant be arsed) so simply replying to the OP.
I was determined to cast a vote, so left Mid-South Wales mid-afternoon to return to Tameside to caste at 9pm.
But I was equally determined not to vote for any of the 'big 4' (no longer the 'big 3'?).
So I looked down the list and cast a 'Green' vote even though I knew little about the candidate of the manifesto.
I'm still trying to examine if this is a real personal shift or just a protestation, but f ts the latter its the first time in 30 years of voting.
It's amazing how few people would vote Green in this country. They have a full set of policies & really strong on social issues. They have a vision for the future, which although flawed in some ways, would set in motion a sorely-needed revolution in housing & communities & the economy (opening up alternative ways of living without forcing it on anyone), and it couldn't possibly be any more of a F-up than what the big parties get away with term after term in office.
But no, protest-votes have to go to the lunatic bandwagon.
I loved this comparison between what Farage and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall have achieved for Britain through the EU.
You did well in the first paragraph, but you couldn't resist could you
I can prove your opinion is wrong. I've no beef with the immigrants. I voted purely to give the main parties a kick up the backside like most of the others.
OB1 chose the Greens - perfectly justified, but tactically they were less likely to make an impact.
The ONLY issue I agree with UKIP on as far as I am aware is the EU. They did support flat rate tax, but I think they've shelved that pending a new set of policies for the manifesto.
