So, you weren’t prepared to vote for Corbyn or Johnson...in that case you were part of either the election of Corbyn or Johnson.
Being saintly about it ? doesn’t butter any parsnips.Sigh. Unlike some, I was not prepared to go against my beliefs, my moral code, to elect a person who I consider despicable, but each to their own lemon. I did not like Corbyn as he did not represent my beliefs either so sadly, like hundreds of thousands of people, my vote did not count under the FPTP system. My vote may have come to nothing, but I can sleep at night knowing that I had did not put this vile administration in place. I live in a constituency where a goat with a blue rosette ( or more likely a horse) would be elected, quite ironic really as all the farmers are beginning to realise what a catastrophe Brexit is, but that is the subject for another thread.
So? many people live in constituencies where a goat or a pig with a red rosette would get in.
there is still a point in voting....but not in throwing your vote away when it's a two horse race and you back a third horse limping down the field.
you didn't want Labour or Conservatives to get into power, yet one of them had to.
strangely enough, I can sleep at night too, taking the moral high ground gets you nowhere.
if you thought Corbyn was the lesser of two evils that's where your vote would have been more useful. Still, your choice.
