Voting nobody is NOT the solution

I posted this as a comment earlier but feel strongly enough to post it, slightly modified, up front - apologies to anyone who thinks I'm spamming...
Yeah, we used to put VOTE NOBODY posters up all over the place BUT where has it got us? Even further from 'Direct Democracy'!
Nobody seems prepared to point the finger at the fundamental reason why Democracy has failed - YOU. Without at least weekly personal involvement (ya know, like Lloyd George recommended), democracy will always be hijacked by the forces of greed and darkness (am I allowed to use the words Bilderbuggars, Trilateral Commission, CFR, TABD, Zionism-AIPAC, OECD without getting censored here? I doubt it...)
Take the time to examine the past records of recent politicians in power - who in your eyes has done what they said they were going to do for the benefit of the majority? Precious few, IMO.
Galloway, Meacher, Short, Flynn, the late lamented (murdered?) Cook, who else?
Of them all, it would seem only Galloway has totally shown the courage of his convictions AND come out squeaky-clean from the Oil-for-food scandal 'they' tried to lay on him both sides of the Atlantic
SO - either vote Respect, Green or stand yourself as an independent - add the above names to your ballot rather than just spoiling it?
How about Brian Haw for PM? Sorry, Brian, I know you're tired...
Well, we can dream of true justice even if we cannot produce it.
Another related thought - SOCPA is trying to put an end to protest, so forget protest and come to the centres of power as Tourists (complete with cameras and videos) - NO slogans, NO placards, NO chanting, NO confrontation, just Tourism (so VERY good for 'business' innit?!) - how about pre-election week?
If enough INDIVIDUALS came in the same week, for the whole week, these 'centres' would become so clogged with bodies, the psychopaths in power would be unable to reach their Lombard Street offices or Parliament, stuck in vast traffic jams, video'd left right and centre - hmm? Two or three million Brian Haws are what's needed to stop this appalling exponential slide into fascism.
Not voting at all will just increase the speed of this ongoing nightmare...
