People should definately always vote. If you feel that you are not being represented by those standing for election, it is better to spoil your ballot than just not to bother voting.
A spoilt ballot is actually registered as a protest vote. Whereas, low voter turnouts are simply dismissed as public apathy.

I think devious is the best way to describe Boris. So many people are taken in by the loveable buffoon persona he cultivates. He's far from stupid. He's actually a nasty piece of work. He called black people "picaninnies" and published an article claiming that balck people have lower I.Qs. When he was at Oxford Uni he was part of the Bullingdon Club (along with David Cameron), which is a invite-only club for private school boys who enjoy binge-drinking, smashing up resturants and being abusive to waiters.
Charlie Brooker wrote a pretty on-point piece about Boris recently -

I thought about them, but they just seem like they have vaguely centrist policies and a bit of left wing rhetoric. Plus, their candidate does look a bit granny-like.
pk-, i'm going to have to quote one of my all-time favourite campaign slogans from the Le Pen - Chirac election
"Vote for the crook, not the fascist"

Yeah I get your point but I mean most of the ideas the have are pretty much the same what I have if I was gunna be in charge of London..The main thing I like about it is that they will drop tuition fees.. I mean next year I'll have to take a year out and get a job JUST to go back into college, someone shouldn't just be stopped from their dreams/ambition like a right mug! Just because they can't afford 800+ quid!
Fuck off the Olympics too! No one fucking cares OR will use it after its finished...
I mean they show 2-3 kids on the TV doing althletics and that...How many young kids/teenagers are there in London? I mean unless HALF of us are using the center it will just be a waste of money .. AMIRIGHT?
"it'll boost tourism" they say...
Have they EVER bopped down Greenwich center, been by the London eye on a hot mid-summers day?
This capital is BOOMING in everything apart from for those who live here.
RANT RANT RANT RANT
Can we go back to silly topics about ham?

in 2001 he said he wouldnt raise fares again till the review in 2008, and since then they have gone up on at least 2 seperate occasions
all these people saying he is the best of the bunch, hes sneaky underhanded and lives in some sort of dream world, i dont think he understands real people
and i know all politicians lie, but you cant really beleive anything he says anymore
