To be honest voting doesn't actually matter unless you believe that one of the others offers whatever it is that you're looking for, if you don't believe that those currently in are doing the right thing.

The only way it will change is if people get involved in a system that most loath and then trying to change it from within which sadly is almost impossible or doing what DJ suggests and create a party that caters for you etc. which most won't get off their arse to do.

There's an argument that the less you know about politics (generally the young and poorest) the less likely you are to vote. So those extra votes will be from the least informed in society.

Given that, it's not a given that more votes will mean better results in elections.

I've called my new party No Overall Control and as you can see the party has already gained control over several councils even though we have had no official launch.

I have pencilled you in for the Arts and Media post with special responsibility for modern jazz, American blues and classic rock.

I didn't vote when i was a youngster because the polling station was too far away.
