tabulahrasa I really sympathise with that reasoning. I come from, even to this day, a Lib Dem stronghold and where I lived in London was always that odious Tessa Jowel. I hated that they just stuck senior politicians in safe seats rather than make them work for it.
The only time it did make a difference was when I was in Brighton and we voted in Caroline Lucas which was really amazing. I even got involved in the local Green Party too before I moved overseas because I felt so empowered by my vote.
I would like to get involved once this is done (if it's a no - yes I don't think I could stay) but I am not sure for what party to be honest. I may let the fallout settle from the result and then canvass MN for opinion as I have found these threads fascinating. I believe change is very necessary and we must modernise our political system.
And who is this numpty on TV now? Next to young chap on BBC 2?
