Although given that someone is going to get in, overall I feel you probably should make a choice. This is where I have some issue with NQ's stance of not voting because he doesn't believe in government - that's like not getting off the rails because you don't believe the train heading towards you is real. Doesn't matter what you believe, you're gonna get hit. And it doesn't matter whether you believe in government, someone is going to get in so why not have your say?
Binface is a bit of a contradiction to that because he has no credible chance of getting in, so it's a sort of wasted vote. But it means I've used my right to vote, which I think people should, and it registers my apathy for all the major candidates.
I don't actually think Khan has been that bad, or that good, but voting for him is a bit of a nothing thing to so. I don't feel strongly enough about him to vote for him, but I don't want any of the others to get in either.
I reckon Binface, but I haven't voted yet. And I think there's a London Assembly thing vote too, literally no idea who any of those people are so I might not vote in that one. Or just vaguely vote for a party I feel the least contempt for, which is a bit weak.
