It was interesting to read of the support our local MPs offered for a day off in order to vote.

However, I fear they miss the point.

Those who seek our vote offer differences in options so narrow it would be difficult to fit a fag paper between them.

The choices lie between one or other set of Oxbridge-educated, out of touch and fairly dishonest toffs who squabble endlessly over what seems to the rest of us to be arcane points, while simultaneously not keeping their promises and serving only themselves.

In my own case I will, for the first time in my life, decline to vote, judging none of them deserve it. I suspect I will not be alone.
