I wish that there was an option to vote for none of the candidates; so that I wouldn't be wasting my vote because I didn't like any of the parties and so didn't bother to show up at the polling station.

I don't really trust any of them to have the answers as politics is such a short-term game and what is really needed is some long-term digging in. It also seems like things are going to get worse before they can get better, whoever is in power. I tend to believe the paper talk of a hung parliament anyway.

But, hey, **** it - I'm off somewhere else right? I'm sure we'll find out though that politics is bent wherever in the world we are - the only difference being the degree.
