Well if they cannot win an election they are taking votes away from parties that might win.......as well as taking votes from the party that might lose and put someone who we don't want, in power. Dividing the vote.
The only way to avoid this is for there to be voting reform...proportional representation......I can't see that happening anytime soon.

What should really concern all parties is the disaffection for politics.
It doesn't matter who gets in...they haven't got the support of the majority, because the majority didn't vote.

There have been a number of times when I have trailed myself off to the polling station and written none of the above on the ballot paper......because the lot of them were a shower of Fisons.
It isn't that I am too idle, or apathetic, it is just that the people on the paper do not deserve to have my vote.
