    Evade the question with a ROLF then.

    I believe that's known as the 'idiot's defence'.

    Advice

    Don't bother with 2nd choice if you vote for either Boris or Ken, it's only if you vote for Libs down to the rest when eliminated that is taken into account.

    try http://www.votematch.co.uk - it asks you a few questions, then matches you up with the candidates that are most in line with your beliefs. i only found it after i voted, and i wish i'd consulted it before, as it would've certainly changed my second choice if not my first.

    give it a go, even the Clarkson reading simpletons on this board should be able find someone they're prepared to vote for. remember guys, you only have to write an "X", so it's just like signing your name.

    Well then, abstain your rights away if you will.

    It's an all too common attitude in the UK these days. "Don't care, Won't Care".

    A passive and docile non-electorate. What a dream for our lords and masters!

    NO isn't clear at all.

    You must support the democratic process by VOTING whenever you can.

    Even if it means voting for the least of all evils, at least you have participated.

    Do you not understand that?

    I choose to lecture on behalf of the poor sods who gave up their lives to ensure we actually do have the inalienable right to vote in this country.

    If you chose not to vote, then you are abnegating that hard-won right.

    Couch it however you will, to chose not to vote when you can vote is a betrayal of the democratic process.

    As I asked before, what else would you do to change the system?
