Steve Shaw BS: voting? (UK) (190* d) RE: BS: voting? 30 Mar 15


My opinion is that there has never been a more important time to keep out the Tories. I live in a Tory-LibDem marginal. All other parties in my constituency are more or less wiped out every time. If I vote on principle, for Labour that would be for me, I might as well be voting Tory. There is a real danger of this seat going Tory this time. I voted LibDem last time to keep out the Tories and the LibDem man got in, but I got the Tories anyway. I have a hunch that that will not happen again. Principle dictates that I vote Labour, but the infinitely bigger principle is that I will do anything (bar vote fascist) to keep out the Tories. If I lived in Scotland, I might be inclined to vote for the most progressive party, the SNP. But every seat the SNP takes from Labour makes a Tory victory more likely and I can't think of anything worse for Scotland than that. The SNP would be the best party for the Scots, no doubt, but that means next to Jack Shit if the Tories are in power. If I lived in Scotland I'd vote Labour, my second choice in Scotland. Here in North Cornwall I think I'm going to have to vote LibDem again.
