Do not think that your vote will never count, however, stranger thanings can happen.
In 1997 I voted for a minority party in a safe Conservative seat - Labour got in and I regretted it! If only half of the people who voted the same way as me had voted Conservative, Labour would not have one that seat.
In 2001 the minority part no longer existed and the Conservatives won the seat back.
That is the closest I have ever come to voting "for" Labour - I have learnt my lesson and will now vote against Labour for whichever party has the best chance of beating them.
