This is just... what makes voting so difficult for me. You would vote for Obama so as not to contribute to Santorum (and frankly, in the US, where you have psychopaths like Santorum, I can genuinely understand this position and would probably do the same), but here I find it basically impossible to do that because I would feel horrible at someone I voted for contributing to things I can't agree with, perhaps even find reprehensible. holy run on sentence batman.
But it is harder in the UK, because we don't essentially have the Anti-Christ to try and keep out of power. We just have a bunch of apathetic PC losers, and whoever you vote for you're going to get stuff you like and stuff you don't, none of which ever seems like it'll be enough to assuage my guilt at "voting in" someone "bad".
