Now in the first past the post system, I would agree with that and often take that course of action BUT and this is a HIUGE BUT, under the PR list system a spoilt paper or abstained vote is a vote for the BNP imo. I couldn't possibly vote for any of the three Tory parties, nor can I vote for the Gay Drinkers Alliance, so as a result of Nazi Nick standing in my constituency I have to vote for the Tree Hugging Party as they are the main rivals for the BNP to get the last seat the way the list system works. It's part of my make up that when faced with a fascist // National Socialist type candidate I have to vote in order to prevent them getting elected if nothing esle and an abstention in this election is an aid to a BNP seat and a seat is a victory and a platform
I agree with you mate. I was just stating if people feel that strongly, they should spoil it instead. I know apathy is going to let the BNP in, which is why people must vote. I know I have done my part in the East Mids and likewise with you
