Upcoming UK general election
by Lysander666 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4TDBC)
So it looks like we're venturing [or being pushed] further into the perilous quagmire of self-servient domestic politics and having another general election on 12th December. I know that we have quite a few regular UK posters here, and quite a few opinionated non-UK posters. All are encouraged to post.
If you're from the UK - how do you plan to vote - do you plan to vote at all? Have you had enough and would prefer not to, do you think it will make no difference? Have you already decided who to vote for and are willing to fight this one out to the death? Are you sick of the whole fiasco and would prefer a [successful] replay of November 1605?
I'm personally on the fence. The proportional representation system is rubbish, and I generally have to tactically vote in elections [for parties I don't like] because in my constituency only one of two parties ever win out. I may not vote at all - but if I don't, I can't really complain about the outcome. Alternatively I may just turn the news off for the next few months and sit in the dark like a mushroom. It would be interesting to see what others have to say.
