I will not be the only voter who makes that decision. I also won't be the only voter, who now feels there is literally no party they actually want to give their vote to. Let's hope something changes on the political campaign scene between now and October, because this is the first time in my life, since I was old enough to vote, that I have found myself in this position, and again, I can guarantee you, I am not the only one.
Voting is a responsibility, not a game. I am not willing to vote for a party I don't agree with, purely as an attempt to get another party I don't agree with, out of government. Clearly, you and others are more than happy to do that.
