    Whats the point in voting, democracy is a delusion in the UK used to pacify the masses into making them think they have some sort of control

    We have had a long term of a Tory government and they where pretty terrible and now a long term of Labour and they have been abortional bring us to the brink of bankruptcy.

    At best I only agree with 40% of the polices of one party going down to 28% for labour, so no party reflects my views

    I live in sevenoaks and no matter who I vote for the Torys will get in as its one of there safest seats.

    I seams that even if labour only get 30ish % of the vote they have 50% more seats than the Tories on 30% share of the vote and nearly 3 times the lib dems on 30% of the vote, this is just rediclious and goes to show how rigged the system is with the boundaries etc

    no point in voting, my vote makes no difference under this rigged system

    the only time i could see the point in voting under this system is if you lived in a marginal seat
    I agree 100%. Regardless who you voted for or who you wanted to govern this country i strongly feel that this election has been handled against the people because people were turned away, although they were there before 10.00 because the councils did not plan it correctly, not enough slips to vote on, missing/lost or fraudluent postal votes, i belive at least 2 councils did not vote due to deaths/ other issues etc etc ... Many recounts, some were close. This system is flawed and i am concerned that many people were not represented correctly

    whats wrong with one person one vote, not who won the local election?

    I wonder if it was fixed. What do you think?

    I think NO.
