Years ago in the UK people elected ukip for our EU representation as a protest vote. There are famously anti EU.

As a result they skipped important votes and really fucked us.

And I thought that was ridiculous.

Protest votes make zero sense! You're always fucking yourself over.

In the latest UK general election I knew I couldn't vote for the 3rd party because of FPTP, so I voted for the major party whose policies represented me the most.

I'm not happy with some of their decisions, but overral it could have been a lot worse.
