    Alexander, you said that you wouldn't vote at all and encouraged others not to vote either. You said that not turning out at all would send a message to the politicians, I'm saying that not turning out doesn't count at all and certainly doesn't really bother the politicians who are elected. Additionally not voting at all is a betrayal of all those who have gone before us and suffered to ensure that we can vote in free and fair elections today, de facto - not honouring Britains.

    You didn't vote FOR UKIP either. So no vote for, no campaign against, what message were you trying to convey to the politicians? You can be damn sure that by sitting at home and not casting a ballot, not one of them heard it.

    No one has said that you campaigned against UKIP.

    My view is that UKIP is pretty much of a muchness with the rest of the political parties, they just haven't been around long enough in sufficient numbers yet to demonstrate just how much alike they are, to the other parties to the general population, however signs from the EU Parliament indicate that there is no discernable difference in the way that they act, only in what they say.

    I'll go out and vote for the woman or man I think is the best (regardless of political affiliation) after I've met them and taken a good look at their record in the public realm. If I think none of them will do a good job, I'll turn up and spoil my paper.
