Thats precisely the reason i have today (postal vote) voted for Graham. I was seriously considering a no vote or protest vote. However because i feel Graham is far and away the best candidate for Hyndburn, i've stuck with Labour, when otherwise i probably wouldn't have.
Also i decided a no vote or protest vote would probably play into the tory's hands in this instance, and i simply cannot stomach Cameron and Osborne, and feel they will prove a disaster if they get in,and so this also influenced my decision to vote for Graham.
I've also voted again for Bernard Dawson in the local, as i feel he's also done a decent job over many years!
