As I've said before, it's a conscience issue. Voting is like endorsing a particular person and if there are no people on the ballot paper who even remotely represent your views, abstention is the only real alternative. I certainly wouldn't want it on my conscience that I assisted to power any of the egotistical, power-hungry, f*ckwitted charlatans on offer in my constituency.

I understand that position as long as it is understood that one has effectively surrendered any tiny influence that one might have. For many of us, the result for our constituency is a forgone conclusion so admittedly that influence might not be worth the existential guilt for voting against principle.

Good negotiators for Brexit. They have a blank book to negotiate from.

Labour will guarantee EU citizen rights in the UK immediately, and then seek UK citizen rights in the EU.

I agree both sides should be doing this together anyway, but that sign to me shows they are weak when it comes to negotiating.

I think it was Tusk who said Britain was naive to think that they could just guarantee rights without actually thinking through the consequences.

I think it is a shame that we couldn't didn't but it is apparently a lot more complicated than many think

But it is influential. It's a vote lost for each of the candidates. It's evidence that each of them has failed to impress. If voter turnout in a constituency is, say 60%, it suggests that 40% thought that they were all c*nts.

I suppose so, but it will still result in the person who least people thought was a c*** getting elected.

I'm not sure if the winning candidate will care if some people didn't vote for anyone.

It comes back to the age old argument of "if everyone thought like that..."

The smaller a majority the more likely of a reaction I suppose.

I just wish that it was compulsory to vote but with option of none of the above, and the ability to return nobody who stood.

Agreed, but it would be imperative to have the latter if you have the former.

It was, but it's in the Standard now. I don't think there can be any doubt that this actually happened.

The actual video show all party leaders doing likewise. Classic DM twisting of truth.

Should we talk about the Sun calling Corbyn a 'terrorists friend' after 2 of the biggest terrorist attacks this country has ever seen? They really will go to any depths won't they?

But Corbyn is a terrorists' friend. He has provable history of it.

Oh FFS. I thought you were smart?

Name me one terrorist today who Corbyn is friends with then?

Then we can have a nice chat about the millions dying in Yemen because of the bombs May is selling to the Saudis...

So he gets a bye on terrorists of yesteryear, does he? IRA, Hezbollah, Hamas.... Open your eyes to the kind of person he is, man.

I know you would feel a lot better if they were Russian bombs instead.

I have a close mate of mine from Yemen who has family back there, so politely shut the f*ck up.

That our taxes are now going towards a war which could result in millions of deaths and further millions of refugees is sickening. That people are more interested in looking at grainy photos of Corbyn from the 80s is depressing.

I don't think so. If you want to talk bollocks on here, expect a response.

If we didn't sell them bombs, someone one else would and you know that.
