I find it really interesting though, a bit sad i suppose. (I used to live in Sutton Coldfield) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted June 8, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted June 8, 2017 Anywho, done my bit. First time in an election I've not spoilt my ballot. Station was reasonably busy. This area is all old people and was once described by a friend as 'a white ghetto' so I don't expect much. And the seat is a safe Labour one. But I can sleep soundly knowing I didn't help that witch and her coven at all. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly the same (albeit I get pissed every Thursday after football) slightly disappointed in my decision to use the biggest marker pen I could find as my weapon of choice though, you can tell I've spoilt it without opening it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenm Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Hey it's your choice and I don't blame you one bit but I just don't understand spoiling your ballot. If you dislike the party in power enough to not vote for them you've decided they haven't done a good job. But you have no idea if another party would or wouldn't so why wouldn't you give them a try? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's absolutely good reason to spoil. If you don't believe in any of the parties, or have a problem with the system with itself, it allows you show your disdain for it whilst being counted still. Hence why I generally do it. I don't particularly like any party and think the system requires reform. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
