[QUOTE="binky, post: 490668, member: 490"] Certainly feels that way. I've never voted for a party I actually believe in, I tactical vote against whoever I dislike most, which is usually the Tory party, but not always. Currently I have a very good local Labour MP, not a Corbynite. As mcuh as I don't like the left wing swing of Labour I will vote for this guy, because he is good, lives in my area and actually does things for local people. My local Tory candidate posts on FB without even saying which party she represents, and I've no idea who my local Lib Dem candidate is. I honestly feel we need to change the voting system, it seems rediculous that when 4 million people voted UKIP a few years ago, they got 1 MP! (and no I don't like UKIP). Given the average constituency is about 265,000 people, this seems very unfair! Now I appreciate that PR of some sort can lead to 'hung parliaments' which can be a pita, but, it would perhaps encourage voting for what people actually believe in, and promote cross party co-operation. Life, and democracy is after all mostly about compromise. [/QUOTE]
