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.

I'm sure this works fine in la la land, but here in the real world we have to vote for someone to run the country.
Voting for X or Y does not in any way mean you support all of their policies, it means you think they will do a better job than the rest.
Abstaining is completly pointless, you are simply supporting whoever wins.
