It seems I’m not alone.

Well, kind of.

Today I was reduced to voting for the Green Party as a protest vote.  None of the real lunatic fringe were in evidence, and I thought, “There’s an opening there.”

It would be great to stand as a representative of The Protest Party - a non-aligned collection of candidates whose only point is to provide an outlet for voters’ frustration and sense of outrage at being offered the same old non-choices.  Of course, we wouldn’t have any policies ourselves, but there are bound to be more people out there (surely?) who would welcome the chance to officially register a protest by other means than not voting or supporting the Conservatives.

Of course this could backfire utterly and completely, but I doubt I’d find myself in parliament or even on the council.  I’d merely have to find a way of raising the deposit money without much hope of ever seeing it again.

What do you think?

(and I know the “none of the above” campaign in Brewster’s Millions was a roaring success, but how often does life imitate art?)
