it's time to launch the Spoilt Vote

Nobody in their right mind could consider voting for the Neue Ordnung Arbeit party in the upcoming local elections. What honest people could possibly represent New Labour?
They are defunct a moribund organisation

The Tories - nah. The lib Dems - nah - weak and ineffectual - the Centralist Leftists - wont get fooled again - the Greens - how about the performance of Die Grune on the subject of the invasion of Afghanistan. Single issue candidates for sure - if they're right. Otherwise for the majority, a fuck you vote - spoilt ballot papers please

why do you use the record of the german greens to dismiss the british greens? These elections are for local councils - they don't have any say in foreign policy. They do have a say in local development, public vs private funding, sustainability schemes...

the system is far from perfect but a vote for the 'least-worst' candidate can go a lot further in local elections than national - the councillors have much more autonomy than MPs and you have much more chance of influencing them. Plus, turnout is so low that if a few concerned people used their vote instead of maintaining their political purity, they might find that they get a half-decent councillor who will vote against building that new out of town business park on top of ancient woodland - instead of the usual suspect.

Abstain, and the only thing you gain is being able to throw the fringe argument of "you were only elected by 10% of the electorate" at the council when they do something you don't like.....
