This is it really. It's just a shame that the majority of the population are so disengaged that they don't really understand how the voting system works.
I've had a lot of friends gleefully tell me they're 'voting Green' recently, without knowing a) who their local candidate is and b) without knowing whether they live in one of the very few seats that the Greens actually have a chance of winning (they don't). It's great that people are taking an interest, but it would help if people actually understood how FPTP works.

The latter.
I'd like to vote for the greens but that is essentially just a vote for another tory coalition so I'm voting Labour. The left (if one can include Labour, that is) are pretty fragmented across a few parties so being tactical and going for a majority party would be much more useful.
