Forty years ago - the big gob in the local taproom would take a pull on his pipe and pronounce - like a sage of old - that 'All these ****** political parties are the same' and the admiring hordes would be stunned to have been in the presence of such elevated wisdom!
Ironically, what was absolute tosh then (even if there were odd pointers available) - has now become hard fact. We have three liberal-left parties squabbling over the same ground.
So, when one of these three announces that a 'vote for UKIP is a wasted vote' they are living in terror of people actually starting to think about what has happened to our society at the hands of these people.
Even if UKIP will find it incredibly difficult to take any FPTP seats in the coming council elections - we must still vote for them.
In Sheffield we frequently beat BNP, Greens and Conservatives in coming third behind Labour &Lib Dems. If people persist we can begin totake second places - and from that point, the leap to winning council seats is not so great.
IT IS A PROCESS.
Do USE your vote! Do not ABUSE it!
