Arg! What to say? I wasn't going to vote Labour anyway, and there's pretty much nothing they can do at this stage to get me back. Even if they abolished id cards and gave all the ELQ funding back, I wouldn't trust them an inch to keep their word after the election.

But who else is there to vote for? Seriously?

I have a lovely vote Against, going spare, if only there were anyone to use it For. :(

Expenses scandal... well, colour me totally unsurprised, but no, it hasn't changed anything, except perhaps my level of disillusionment, very slightly.

Bob Heinlen has, in both stories and essays, put forward several alternative voting systems, including one where the candidate with the least votes Against gets in, instead of the candidate with the most votes For.
