Quote:
A 14-year-old boy from Lancashire who voted in the general election said he did it because he "wanted to make a difference".
Alfie McKenzie, from Poulton-le-Fylde, voted for the Liberal Democrats in the Wyre and Preston North constituency, after being sent a polling card.
He was only caught when he confided in a teacher at school. His head teacher called the local council and police.
....
Alfie said he was "very serious" about politics and socialism, but decided to vote Liberal Democrat as a tactical option.
He said: "There's not a socialist candidate in our area and unfortunately even if there was it would be a wasted vote. I've looked into it and the best option for a socialist is the Liberal Democrats.
"I did want to make a difference - unfortunately I didn't."
Alfie's mum, Nadine Wiseman, said she had asked him not to vote, after he received the polling card, but she "wasn't surprised" when he did.

Not sure about his political opinions (and dressing like a Tory) but it's a shame as sounds more intelligent that BNP voters and the feckless who can't be bothered to vote.
