We are in the midst of the longest general election campaign of modern times, and Tories and Labour are slinging shots at each other about the old chestnuts – taxes and healthcare. Nothing much changes, but this time around voters need to consider an important principle of democracy.

Voters share responisibility for the actions taken by their elected representatives

The UK has contributed in the deaths of 100,000 Iraqis, terrible human rights abuses and an illegal invasion on a flase pretext, blamed on an intelligence failure (despite which very many people were able to see that the pretext was false long before the government started to admit it was so).

Now if we vote for a candidate who took us to war (or who agrees he would have taken us to war) then we, the voters share the responisibility for the evil done in our name.

So my challenge is this: don’t vote for such people. Forget the other issues, the party politics, the media hype and everything else. If you vote for one of these evildoers, then your choices are evil too.

This is not a party issue – vote for whomever you like, from whatever party you like, or don’t vote at all – but vote for one fo the warmongers who have so defamed our country and you share their responsibility. It is as simple as that.
