In reply to Doug, who urged me to vote for anybody rather than spoiling my paper.
Rather than not vote through apathy, my action shows l do care about my right to vote. Rather than vote for somebody that l don't agree with, ie: a 'looney' party or one issue candidate, as a spoilt paper my action will still be recorded without aligning myself to any one party just for the sake of voting. As for prolonging the count by spoiling my paper tough, that's democracy.
I come from a long line of Labour party members, and this is the first time in my life l won't be voting, partly as l sadly see very little difference between the two main parties.
