And what do you do when you can't vote any more, or your vote is pointless (Russia, Iran ad nauseum)?
Many votes are currently pointless under FPTP. I understand neither of the 2 major parties wish to change this.

Just another step on a clearly defined trajectory, e.g. the illegal prorogation of parliament, today’s clearly corrupt rewrite of parliamentary standards, Johnson lying to the Queen (along with everyone else), the blatant multi-£bn corruption and fraud throughout the covid 19 pandemic, breaking international law over Brexit, breaking international law regarding refugee safety, breaking international law over the GFA, burying/absolving war crimes, ramping up state snooping, eroding civil rights, ramping up nationalism, xenophobia, clamping down on protest with police state powers, trying to seize control of the media etc etc etc. It is a near endless list.
Tory voters really need to wake the hell up and realise exactly what they are enabling. This is not a ‘conservative party’ at all. It is now an entirely different thing.
Until today I thought we were certainly looking at the end of a tory government at the next election. I suspect that today might mark the beginning of the end of the tory party.
This was declared, hidden in plain sight, in the Tory manifesto.. and they have been quietly working on it since.
This sickening episode, as bad as it is, is just another step in Johnson and Co's plan to undermine the supremacy of Parliament, the democratic process, and an INDEPENDENT judiciary.
People have been steadily predicting the end of the Republican party in the USA ever since Trump got the nomination in 2016.... but no, its just keeps going, getting worse and more outrageous all the time. And people keep voting for it as they did yesterday in Virginia. Same thing is happening here.

Well, I couldn’t vote for alternatives I regard as hopeless just because I couldn’t vote for the party I would traditionally vote for. We need a ‘none of the above’ on the ballot.
I wouldn't normally show the DM but...
We are where we are because people voted for this shower of devious shit last timeIt’s blatant and not good. You’d think they would be comprehensively kicked out at the next election but doubt that will happen. I couldn’t vote for them in an election next week but couldn’t vote for anyone else either.
You thought Johnson was above corruption at the last election?Well, I couldn’t vote for alternatives I regard as hopeless just because I couldn’t vote for the party I would traditionally vote for. We need a ‘none of the above’ on the ballot.
