I don't think many fail to understand it. There was, ime, a fairly even split between unmarked or clearly deliberately spoiled ballots, and ones where it wasn't clear if an X was in one box or another (slightly more unmarked/deliberates). A fair few people don't msrk anything but still 'vote' because they can't bring themselves to vote for anyone, but still believe voting is important.
) seems a less boring notion, but you have to be somewhat, erm, well advanced** in your election day progress, to manage that. 
Do you think Drew's got a chance? He only lost narrowly last time and he seems to be well known in the constituency. Also not exactly a career politician, what with his teaching background and that.
Almost certain he'll win here, biggish Green vote probably get squeezed and the Tory incumbent is a complete stuffed shirt. Drew definitely has a bit of a personal vote, he came up looking OK after the expenses thing and i well-known about the town (saw him as I was outside work this morning having a tab as it happens). Not kept up with the forest, certainly used to be the other likely Labour seat somewhere ruralish round this way, but not sure how it's changed.
That would be my impression yeah. Certainly there's a big contrast between the Forest & Stroud constituencies and the neighbouring Cotswold & Tewkesbury seats.
Your eyes are inevitably drawn to the area where his recently removed cravat would have been.
That was exactly what i was thinking about - didn't realise there was one so fitting
But does he have a dolphin tattoo on his heel?
