General Election Fault

Time spent arguing with OS, mistakenly assuming it was a software fault: Three weeks
New physical drive: £50
A functional work space that no longer crashes every two minutes, uncluttered and running my OS of choice? Priceless.

Got the first election pamphlet through the door today, from the Conservatives. It's not exactly inspiring: the most interesting thing about it is that our MP is retiring and the new candidate is the younger brother of a fairly major political figure.
Which, uh. Damnit. That means the party thinks my constituency is a reasonably safe seat, and since I don't intend to vote Tory, I might as well not bother.
First past the post: worst. Electoral system. Ever.
