Read(red), and commented on a post on facebook tonight.
Some people still bang on and say Chezzy council should have refused the offer for the money for the 'Growth' sculpture. Probably a member of one of the same parties that makes people post pictures like this one.
I can understand why people lose confidence in the main parties, but are their votes lost on alternative parties ?

People vote for UKIP or the Green Party they must feel its worth there vote if enough people voted for them and they got in (which is quite possible given how people feel about the three main parties) it would not be a 'wasted' vote.

Trouble is if folks didn't vote for alternatives to the main parties nothing would ever change. People should vote for who they believe in. They may not get in this time but maybe next... ?

Maybe pro-Europeans don't speak loudly enough about the benefits to the economy and the individual of membership.
