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

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.....
