Lunch time poll: Voting Dilema

[cdave]

In my local seat the two parties who most stand a chance of winning there have:

• A rebellious incumbent MP who votes against his party (usually in the direction I'd want), but whose party I don't want in power.
• A local councillor for the party I'd like to see in, who doesn't really impress me with his literature, and website (and hasn't replied to an email from 5 days ago asking why I should vote for him).

I doubt I know the name of anyone beside myself and my flat mate who live in my constituency. The perils of living in a small London constituency and socialising largely outside of it.

You certainly know the names of some more people who live in your constituency, although you may not know that they do live in your constituency. There are enough celebrities living in London that every constituency must have several.

Well I do live in one of the smallest constituency's in the country "characterised by Council accommodation, and Students", and the celebs tend to live a few tens of meters north in the trendier Crouch End, but a good point.

I meant I don't really have any sense of local community, so I'm not actually voting on a "local" MP. I'm voting on local candidate for the national seat.
