Voting
Just a couple of quick updates on 5th May.
George Monbiot has written a splendid piece on how voting for a minority party could be the best thing any of us can do. He makes the point that by tactically voting for say the Lib Dems, you are sending a confused message that will be misunderstood by the politicians. Charles Kennedy and his party may do very well next month, and Kennedy will no doubt bang on about how it is a vindication of his policies when in fact it is nothing of the sort only a rejection of everybody else's.
If you don’t have a suitable independent in your constituency (and there isn't one in mine) there is always the none of the above/spoil you vote option I touched upon below. These chaps explore the matter in far more detail.
