its really difficult. I am middle aged so neither one end or the other (a bit like my politics ) but because of the system we are in no one represents me really, or more accurately no one who has a remote chance of getting a seat where I live.Obviously it isn't uncommon with younger people to not have their head around politics but also I find a lot of younger people, even those clued up, are somewhat in the political wilderness and many find the mainstream parties alien to their political position and/or might vote for some of the smaller parties due to some shared ideologies for instance environmental issues, but don't really see eye to eye with those parties either.
And that is even forgetting the issue of competency and honesty before we even consider which direction we normally swing.
Bottom line for me my choice really is red or blue...... yellow or green is really a wasted vote again thanks to 1st past the post. IF it was proportional I would be much happier voting for who i want, but for now I guess it is voting for who you least dislike who has a chance of getting in. This does not sit well with me at all, but is probably the biggest lesson in politics. Dont vote for who you want, but who you think stands a chance but who you least dislike. Not a very positive view tho imo.
back to topic at hand.... in the medium and certainly long term I think we are in a really good position for energy. With the North Sea link as well as the connection to France I believe with the right investment the UK will do well in renewable Energy generation.
we just need to get through the next few years......
