I have a lot of time for Dick Cole, and am fairly glad I don't live in your constituency, because of your obvious dilemma, caused largely by the 'first past the post' system. But if you do vote MK, one of the questions you'll have to ask yourself is "which party, out of the Tories and the Lib Dems does this vote benefit?" The answer will be whichever party you wouldn't vote for if forced to choose between just those two. It's none of my business what you decide of course, but only one of those parties supports proportional representation, which might make your MK vote really count one day.JLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12727529510670964003noreply@blogger.com
