SPOIL YOUR BALLOT. DON'T VOTE FF, SF, PD, SP, SWP or any other PERSON USURPING YOUR POWER!!!!

In response to the crass electioneering of the SWP it is time to call them on their bullshit. They claim that we should vote for them not because they believe in "representative democracy" but because it will demonstrate the growing number of socialist activists "from below" who are dissatisfied with the system.

What's the point? If I want to show that I think parliamentary politics is a con I'm going to SPOIL MY BALLOT!

I'm not going to do something ambiguous and open to misinterpretation like vote FOR the SWP parliamentary candidate!

Well, if the SWP candidates all get elected how will that be interpreted? Depends on who's doing the interpretation:

Reformist Liberal Capitalist: the people are making a protest vote, they want kinder, gentler Capitalism

Right-wing Capitalist: the people are staring to cop on, I'd better bullshit them about how we are all pawns of globalization

Careerist SWP T.D.: I'm elected! Yessss! Woo-hoo!!!

Labour Party: better start dusting off the socialist rhetoric again.
