No. I haven't voted in the last two either. This is because I do not believe any politician exists who truly represents me and my beliefs and desires. There is nobody out there who even comes close. All politicians in Britain have shown themselves to be self serving, shallow, spineless, dishonest or all four at some time in their illustrious careers and there is no sign that that will change. It will make very little difference to my life if there is a change of ruling party in parliament, unless one of the joke parties like Monster Raving Looney or BNP score an unlikely landslide! As far as I can tell, you're just voting for a different monkey to throw the same sort of shite at you.
So I will be exercising my democratic right to not have to choose. I choose not to choose. Let those who have been brainwashed choose their fate. I will simply take my chances as I find them.

I'm going to make sure I'm registered and then not vote. None of them are worth the effort or turning up at the election booth.
I would go to vote if there was a "none of the above" option so that we can bring in a fresh batch who may be honest (for a few days at least) or change the system.
In the UK, only about 22% of the voters are needed to elect a majority government. I' with the 78% majority who dont want any of them.

Your vote certainly won't count if you don't cast it.
I'll vote. I'll always vote. Admittedly were there to be a general election tomorrow, I'd probably deliberately spoil my ballot, as I can't in good conscience vote for a party I don't support, but I'll always go along to make some sort of mark.
That said about 'voting for a party', whilst I don't think much of any of them, my vote would also depend on the candidates offered.

If say, a farmer from the Midwest were to ever be given an endorsement I would vote as he/she would really be able to feel the REAL pulse of the majority of Americans economically, in education, foreign affairs, taxes and jobs.
The upper crust, never worked a day in their lives and had everything handed to them, types that can actually afford to campaign have no earthly idea of what concerns REAL Americans and quite frankly they could care less.

The only reason i am going to vote Republican is because the "democrats" have slipped so far left that I can't tell the difference between their "leaders" and the marxist idiots out there holding "I hate the USA" rallies every chance they get. Any party is better than an anti-Christian, anti-capitalist party.
But it is probably true that voting evry 2-4 years only gives the little guys (you and me) a chance to choose which pair of boots will be stomping on our face for the next 4 years. To quote Kurt Vonnegutt, "So it goes!"

Absolutly..I have never missed an opportunity to vote for someone I believe in, who I think and hope will help make positive changes for this country and its citizens. I agree with Rob Roy..saying my vote doesn't count is a cop out!

Yes, if you don't like the candidates, you should have gotten involved during the nomination process. Pick the party closest to your beliefs and become active today.

None is good, seems like better, but when come to the power they are pushed to follow the existing scenario, so it's same..
