But I don't believe in our system at the moment. Candidates don't represent me and I won't do it to choose the lesser evil anymore.Roseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07469442580348062913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-59595222965391282752012-11-17T09:47:37.036+00:002012-11-17T09:47:37.036+00:00My reasons for voting were very similar to yours a...My reasons for voting were very similar to yours and I too went online for candidate information. There were 2 candidates that I really didn't like so I felt I should vote against them. <br /><br />Now the government are going to waste a bit more money by having an enquiry into the low turn out. The fact that spoiled papers do not count towards the turn out figures makes them look even worse. I think there should be some way for voters to register their protest that would be noted; like the "none of the above" box in that old Richard Prior film.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10600329429654831610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-29916249945175602552012-11-17T08:58:58.307+00:002012-11-17T08:58:58.307+00:00I suspect that we've got the wrong bloke as th...I suspect that we've got the wrong bloke as there were two independents standing in this county (which will have split the vote).<br /><br />Most other areas of similar composition (Surrey, Dorset, Kent, yours) have all elected the independent.<br /><br />I just saw the girlie who's won North Yorkshire on the news.
