I've always posted on here that I don't always vote for one particular party.

This is true.

I once voted for Ken Livingstone in the election for Mayor of London, when he stood as an independent, after being thrown out of the Labour party.

Last year I also voted for Peter Britcliffe.

This was done because I knew his chance of re-election was 100% guaranteed, and I did it so I could post that I was voting for the best person for the job, hoping that by saying this, after also saying I was voting for Graham Jones, it might pursuade others to do the same.

Other than these two votes I've always voted Labour, ever since I was first able to, in 1983.

Never again.
