    When the 'vote' is a choice between the red, blue and yellow, what then? If I don't want to vote for any of these crooks, then what? Do I "waste" my vote on a minor party?

    Also if I do vote for red/yellow/blue and it turns out to be the wrong decision because red/yellow/blue *gasp* lied about their policies - my fault?

    You should be voting for the person you want, and not the party. That is the British way. Electoral Reform is undoubtably needed, so voting a party that is behind such reform is a good idea. For "waste" of a vote, no vote is a waste. Vote for who you would at least prefer out of who is running in your area, even if it is the lesser of the evils.

    Also if I do vote for red/yellow/blue and it turns out to be the wrong decision because red/yellow/blue *gasp* lied about their policies - my fault?
    You can legitimately complain about the party in that example quite easy.

    Overall, it is pretty easy to understand.
