Protest Vote
Time for an analogy:
Democracy is like a muscle - if you don't exercise it, it'll shrivel up and fall off
So instead of thinking about the other parties (because really, what's the difference?) think of this election as a true-or-false question:
(please excuse me for presuming to know your answer)
Tony Blair is an honest and trustworthy leader who respects and obeys the will of the electorate. He has my best interests at heart, as well as those of my family and of the people of the United Kingdom.
True
False
Because face it, that's what this election is really about.
We know all campaign promises are calculated lies, so ignore them. There are only two possible outcomes on election day. Either Tony Blair gets back in with a winner-by-default mandate that encourages him to take the UK further down the totalitarian, neo-conservative trail being blazed by the US, or he gets rolled and politicians the whole world over are put on notice.
