One know it will not.
Exactly. The Tories will always vote. That is why we have had a Tory govt for most of the British parliament.

That's a damn good point. Also, there's not many working people who could afford to risk the deposit to stand for election in the 1st place, without party support. I find some of the talk about reform of party funding a bit alarming too. The suggestions about state funding anyway. I can see that kind of thing being used to make it even more difficult for MPs to be independent.

Here is an interesting link that will show you how much your vote actually counts in the overall scheme of things.

www.voterpower.org.uk...

also shows how many votes mean nothing at all in your constituency.

i would say that this shows the need for real electoral reform.
