I don't think I would, I think the whole political scenario is overcooked already, there are far too many MPs and they hold far too much power in their parties without any real consequence to them if it goes fubar.
First we used to get Labour who spent too much and f*cked up the economy while shifting power and influence to their friends in the unions and public sector, then you get the Blue Rinsers who f*ck us up by trying to get all the power back into the hands of the bankers and land owners, basically the controllers of capital, then along came Blair/Brown to shag everybody by spunking every penny we are likely to earn over the next hundred years just to line their own pockets, so we have got Labour and the Tories bellying up to the City, now we have got Dave and the Div pretending that they know which way is up.
FFS, what difference does the way I vote make ?
The complete lack of any alternative choice negates any reason to reform the system, I will dutifully stroll around the corner later to do my civic duty, only spoke to one candidate, well it wasn't really a candidate it was some dork that was trying to get the Tory elected, he took exception to my attitude so I told him to f*ck off, all I have to go on is the half a dozen leaflets which came through the door spouting the usual old party centric b*ll*cks, easy to see why an ever growing proportion of the electorate choose not to take part.
Plural, preferential, FPTP, AV, AV+, STV, PR, blah, blah, blah.
We've got a system that provides an evenings entertainment once every five years, why mess with it ?
