As you can't vote for a Libertarian or ...Leggy<br /><br />As you can't vote for a Libertarian or UKIP candidate then I would strongly recommend you vote BNP.<br /><br />The BNP candidate would certainly not get elected, so there would be no chance of harm to your friends. At the same time, any increase in the BNP vote would enhance the possibility for political realisation that angry smokers and opponents of the EU are out there with a voting presence. This may influence politico thinking for the next election, particularly relevant in this case where a hung parliament seems likely. Any other vote would ensure the continued perception that the EU and smoking issues are politically inconsequential concerns.<br /><br />As an expat Brit living in Canada, I have deliberately not voted in either country for many years. Due to time lived outside the UK, I am now unable to qualify for a UK electoral vote. If this were not the case, then I would certainly be voting in this election to eject Labour.<br /><br />Thanks for your excellent blogging commentaries Leggy.<br /><br />Cynical Expat from Canada.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-60717121279864812142010-05-03T13:36:05.103+01:002010-05-03T13:36:05.103+01:00"Griffins body guards are enough to make you ..."Griffins body guards are enough to make you doubt."<br /><br />@Anonymous<br />"At least Griffins bodyguards look like bodyguards, so you get what it says on the box.

Wander what they do when they're not looking after nick? Maybe a bit of loan shark debt recovery.<br /><br />Saying that, I'd say theyre a lesser evil when compared to labour and their murderous campaigns in Iraq/Afghanistan. <br /><br />Isn't their policy voluntary repatriation?

I'm an 'incomer' too here, same as I was in Wales, Somerset, Hampshire etc.<br /><br />You say the SNP is not the natural home for tories. It is in the east of Scotland when the tories have 'career' candidates. Here too was a tory stronghold until, in the 90s, the SNP took over and John Swinney's been gradually building his majority since. Of course he's now an MSP and we have Pete Wishart who, with a bit of luck, will hold on.<br /><br />Perth too was always a tory stronghold and when I arrived in this area the SNP were hardly seen in elections. People will vote SNP because they're not keen on what Cameron's done to the party.<br /><br />So change does happen, although it's slow.subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.com
