Proper break this time
Don't vote/deface ballot. Turnout nosedived in 2001 but has been crawling back up since. The tories took 36% of the vote in a turnout of 65%, lib dems 23%. 38% of the voting population voted for the coalition (and obviously most of them didn't actually vote for it), 23% voted Tory. Some would have you think that the only debate around that is the 'voter apathy' one, but it's not - low turnouts go right to the core of legitimacy arguments, raise questions about parliamentary supremacy and whether parties represent people in any meaningful way. Add to that the farce that is PMQs and the obvious resemblance of the HoC debating hall to the Oxford debating hall, only more shouty and you have a lot of serious argument about whether the system as it is now is rotten to the core.
Oh shut up you fucking moron.

TUSC. And possibly CPB, much to my dismay.

Poor but loyal.
Porbably Laboiur, but here in Swansea East it'll depend on who Sian James' successor-candidate is (she's been excellent albeit obscure, but sadly she's retiring)
TUSC are only standing in Swansea West, otherwise I'd be strongly considering them!

I have the luxury of a safe labour seat (Reeves) so can vote whatever I feel like with no consequences (spunking cock an option)
I could always move in with a friend over the far side of LS6 for a few weeks, register there, and vote Labour to help tip the sitting libdem off his Leeds North West perch. Too much effort though.

According to the wiki page, Class War's putting up a candidate in Swansea East.

Ian Bone's standing here so I'll vote Class War.
Otherwise it would have been TUSC, a comedy option, or a spunking cock, depending on the menu on the day.

SNP - in the hope that Labour will face the same fate as the Toryscum have.
Its fifty years since the Conservatives won a majority here in Scotland
Hopefully by 2065 the working class will have finally buried the freemarket for good, and will be on the way towards justice decency and equality.

In fact, a majority of Scots (50.1%) voted Tory in 1955, returning 36 Conservative and Scottish Unionist Party MPs to Labour’s 34.Its fifty years since the Conservatives won a majority here in Scotland
However, in more than half a century, the Tories have never managed more than half of the votes cast either in the UK as a whole or in England alone. Thatcher never once had a majority of the popular vote in England.
Worth remembering.

Ultra safe tory seat with Lib Dems the only other party with a prayer. Have always voted strategically till now but what's the point? Might as well vote with my heart if I can find a party to win it. It would have been Labour in the past but these days... sigh.
Nah, they'll end up in a coalition and get shafted.

Maybe I'm wrong and they'll somehow get ahead.

Not sure how voting for a different freemarket party will help achieve your goal of a more just and equal society but hey ho whatever floats your boat I guess?

If we had proper PR (not the shite that Clegg squandered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity on) then I'd be voting NHA.
As it is, I expect I'll be going with Labour, purely through fear of another round of tory scumbaggery. I know we'll just get Labour scumbaggery instead, but I'd rather eat mouldy cheese than dogshit iykwim.
ETA: Labour safe seat anyway, so it'll make fuck all difference which box I cross.

I'll be voting labour though it pains me to do so. But my area usually has the three main Tory/labour/libdem lot plus 3/4 far right groups, plus ukip. In not prepared to run the risk of not voting and one of those cunts get in.
Policy wise I think I'm supposed to vote green but we don't have a green candidate round here
