This will be the first GE since I have lived in my current area. The local ward is Conservative and has been since the dawn of time. I vote Labour.
I looked up the results for elections in the ward and for example, last time Conservative and Lib Dem came very close to each other with Labour only getting 1/6th of the number of votes that either the other two parties get.
I don't want to vote Lib Dem, I think NC talks a lot and actually says very little and WILL NOT vote for the conservatives.
I feel like my vote will be utterly wasted. I also feel like Labour know it too, there have been no Labour flyers through my door, no Gordon Brown billboards nearby.
Feel so annoyed that by moving areas I have 'lost' my chance to make a difference in my area. I can vote for Labour, but around here it won't matter because they still won't win.

My vote feels a bit worthless
