okay, i know people died for my right to vote etc...
well actually that's crap, because no one ever went to war so i could vote at all, granddad...
i know universal suffrage is one of the great privileges of our democracy, hence the reason that many feel obliged to use their vote.
the problem i have, though, is that while there's plenty of talk among analysts of voter apathy, there is never any mention of abject voter disgust - and that's what i'm feeling.
i was thinking about a lib-dem vote, being the sort of traditional labour supporter marginalised by years of blairite rule, but then i look at that shower of inept also-rans and i realise that i really do not want to vote for them - or anyone else.
galloway can go fuck himself and i'll be buggered if i'm voting for a bunch of people who despite their wooly jumpered cuddliness i wouldn't trust to organise a piss up in several breweries, so that's the greens out, too.
in short no party is representing me or any of my views (and even if there was i probably wouldn't believe them), i am appalled at the sub-middlebrow banality of all the campaigning i have seen and i want no part in this at all.
i am not voting not out of apathy but out of frustration and anger - thoughts?
