Acually, I feel that we should vote for none of those three main parties and teach them a lesson by voting for other parties

You must have missed the bit in the post 2 posts above yours.....
Quote:
The act provides for general elections to be held on the first Thursday in May every five years. There are two provisions that trigger an election other than at five year intervals.
A motion of no confidence is passed in Her Majesty's Government by a simple majority and 14 days elapses without the House passing a confidence motion in any new Government formed
A motion for a general election is agreed by two thirds of the total number of seats in the Commons including vacant seats (currently 434 out of 650)
