Living in Northern Ireland means my vote is effectively worthless. The big mainland parties stay away from here, and we have no devolved government - instead we get unelected government ministers running the place and doing what they please. All hail our non-elected overlords!
Anyways people here dont vote for normal parties, or for parties who set out specific goals, no we vote along sectarian lines to "keep the other lot out". Its a sad abuse of democracy.
That being said I wouldnt vote for ANY politician, it only encourages them.. god forbid we end up with even MORE of them..
