Election UK

So here we go again! Boris wanted an General Election and finally, after some parliamentary manoeuvres, he got his wish. So off we go to the polls and put our cross in the box of our choice? 
Except many of us have little choice and our vote is meaningless. You must vote, if you do not and you can, don’t ever complain after and especially not to me, you will get no sympathy. Having said that, in a first past the post system, for many of us our vote is wasted! In the constituency I reside in, it is or has been for the last 3 elections a safe Tory seat. Michael Ellis is the incumbent, his majority is not large and who knows he could lose. When he first stood, I made it my task to study all the candidates and decide who would best represent our constituents, irrespective of the party they represented. Indeed at the time I espoused the idea, that should everyone vote on that basis and not just for the party they supported nationally, it might change the face of Parliament as we know it? I voted for Michael. To be fair he is not the worst MP we have had. I could not bring myself to vote for him again. The party he belongs to (Conservatives) just horrify me and he has become yet another Tory toadie, who when questioned (I have had much email correspondence with him) just tows the party line and supports everything their leader does without fail.
He is now in the Cabinet, so it works! 
If Sally Keeble stands again, as his Labour opposition, I cannot in all conscience, vote for her. My darling wife, is bitterly opposed to her for reasons I won’t explain here but her reasons are good enough for me!
So that leaves us with the other candidates, Liberal Democrat, Green etc and they, as past history shows, don’t have a prayer. 
I’m sure this scenario is repeated in many constituency’s, up and down our country. 
So what to be done? You MUST vote, it is your right and the only way everyone can take part in the democratic🤣 process! Who for? If you go in knowing your vote is a waste, what is the point? You could spoil your paper as protest but that in itself is a meaningless gesture! You could argue that if you don’t vote for a candidate whom has little chance of winning, they never will. 
It is a dilemma that I would suggest will tax many people’s minds over this campaign. It might be one reason why many never vote or won’t vote this time?
We know the main issues and we all know why this election is so important.
Our countries future is always at stake but now more so than ever.
The way many in Parliament have behaved is outrageous and at times disgusting, over the period since Mrs May disaster at the 2016 General Election (and before), their inability to reach any agreement or consensus, the insults, intransigence and plain hostility towards each other and us, has been plain for all to see (naturally there are many exceptions)!

I have no clue as to the answer to everything I’ve just typed! I’m baffled and tired of it all but I know we have to decide, I just don’t know what my decision will be? 🤔😬😱
