The ballot paper has turned up. It includes a British National Party cnadidate. This is an excellent incentive to vote for anyone except him, just to make his fraction of the vote that little bit smaller...
Hmm. BNP, unstated, Labour, Independent, Conservative, UKIP, LibDem. What used to be a rock solid Labour seat, which never stopped me going out and voting for Another Party. Voter apathy in the face of overwhelming odds is one way the odds get to stay overwhelming...
This year *none* of them inspire me to go out and vote for them, but at least the Lib Dems don't actively inspire me to go out and scribble "none of the above" on my ballot paper. This is not a good way to select my preferred candidate, but it's better than nothing.
