Surprisingly, thats not actually true.
A large number will always vote for the same party no matter what, the rest are just picking the lesser of two evils.

but by voting for a party, they do support the major policy decisions by implication. They should abstain if the opposition is not credible.
UK governments put a lot of store on "having a mandate" to implement their manifesto so if you don't support a party's strategic policies, don't vote for it.
