    Still undecided but possibly not voting (for the first time in a general election). This would have been my eleventh general election vote. I remember being quite excited about me getting to be 18 in 1970 and the voting age changing from 21 in 1969. Then the bloody election took place 6 days too early.

    Spoilt ballot paper so that my disgust with all the main parties is registered, it's better than not voting

    Totally agree with this, everybody should cast their vote even as a spoiled ballot.

    agree, which is why i find the russell brand "dont vote" arguement absurd. There's a way to show your displeasure at the polls all whilst not voting, it's called spoiling your ballot.

    Its better to vote for an actual party - so vote for a minor party - because even if Labour win in Eltham for example, they still get analysts to see why so many people voted for smaller parties. It actually has a greater impact than spoiling your ballot as the major parties start to worry about why support for minor parties is increasing. For example when the Greens initially became popular the major parties began to adopt environmental policies and this can be seen in this election too with UKIP as ALL the major parties are now a lot stricter on immigrantion policies, so without malking a meaningful vote you can still have an impact.

    I think they do also look at the number of spoilt ballots but these figures don't tell them what people actually want.
