But maybe Labours transformation into Conservative-lite was inevitable. Who knows? I won't cry if the Tories under Cameron get in, but it isn't ideal.
There is no such thing as a wasted vote IMO, though sometimes you have to be strategic. If you believe in something you should vote for it. At worst, it will at least encourage those you vote for to keep trying to further their agenda.
Absolutely. Unless you are voting strategicly you should vote for what you believe in, even if it may be the only vote they get. Every vote says something. Plus its the only way for a party to develop. So your vote may not impact on this election but keep voting that way and hope that others join you in the future.
