I don't know how you feel about FPTP, but I think that no-one who is a fan of FPTP can really, at the same time, also complain that the Tories should be in power, or have a right to be in power, simply because the majority voted against the alternative. It's a bit hypocritical IMO (I'm not saying you are, btw  ).

I am just sick to death of a system where my vote doesn't count, every time I vote in a general election it's a wasted vote.
Labour have such a majority in this area that I can never see them loosing in my lifetime, no matter how bad they are.
