It matters not one jot who you vote for, if when they get into power, they do not take into consideration the views and values of those who voted for them.
Democracy??? What democracy?

Disagree with you there, Margaret. Spoilt voting papers are wasted votes. No one's going to read your message - they're just going to chuck it away.
A big protest vote for UKIP would send a clear message to the Con/Lab parties that they've got to start taking notice of us over the EU and a lot of other things too. You don't have to agree with everything that UKIP stands for - I certainly don't. However, a large vote for them could shock the Con/Lab establishment out of their complacency.
I would urge you at the next election to keep your paper intact and vote UKIP!
