I live in an area that is a very safe Labour seat. To vote anyone else is wasteful as it will not change the outcome.
I'm very angry at the way that if you live in a safe area that your voice is weakened. I yearn for proportional representation so that I can vote and have that vote counted in a meaningful way that helps me to be represented in the commons.
I could spoil my paper in protest, but this will have contributed to the turnout.
I am NOT voting in the hope that turnout can slip below 50% and that this will be the trigger/catalyst to a national review of the electoral process and brings us closer to proportional representation.
