Hmmmmm............


Within the theory of democracy if we all voted for what we believed in, then whomever was in power, would be representing the views of the majority of the population. And if your views don't happen to be in the majority then unfortunately, you lose. That's the whole point. So from a theoretical standpoint, that's what I'd do.

HOWEVER:

a) Shouldn't the person you're voting for be upholding the basic values of 'your' party? And if they don't, shouldn't you consider joining another?

b) Sometimes it can be better to have a good leader with whom you disagree than a bad one, with whom you concur.

c) A lot depends on your electoral system: if you have a first past the post system, it may be better to vote tactically than for the person who upholds your beliefs.

d) All this talk about Skip's erections is making me horny...........oh sorry, what did you say? E-L-E-C-T-I-O-N-S? Ooops - my mistake.
