So, as the dust settles and the arguments continue, it's time to come clean. Who won the TEF's vote for Parliament? All totally anonymous, so safe to express your opinion in confidence.
Only five choices available in the poll I'm afraid, so this is a basically English constituency with regional parties and others necessarily excluded.

You need 6. None of the above.

Well you'll either have to express that view in public, or use a non-vote as the equivalent of spoiling your ballot paper / sitting on a minibus to Sheffield...

I didn't vote because I wasn't in the country but would have voted Green. My vote wouldn't have made the slightest bit of difference in my constituency anyway.

Thats part of the problem isn't it. Why bother voting because your vote doesn't count in so many constituencies. No wonder so many feel disenfranchised and so many vote tactically.
Incidentally, I did vote, and yet again it counted for nothing.

Which, given the fact that applies to the majority of the population, makes you wonder why people passed up the opportunity to install a more democratic system
"Conservative" seems to sum up the general attitude of the nation.

In 40 years of voting, I have never voted for a candidate who got elected, apart from in the Euros.

The AV/PR referendum failed because too many people saw it as an opportunity to slap Clegg and that's how the debate was largely framed in our increasingly shit media. So there was no real debate on the merits or otherwise, much like the election itself. I blame Morshead.

AV is more confusing than FPTP, and still not representative anyway.
