However, I made this pie chart to encourage people not to abstain from voting and not to vote ‘tactically’ at this year’s UK election.</p> <p style="padding-left:1em;">The proportion of eligible voters choosing not to vote is huge. Although this is not good for UK politics, it does present us with an opportunity. Using your vote for smaller parties that you identify with, speaks louder than witholding it in apathy and shows more conviction than picking the best of a bad bunch.</p> <p style="padding-left:1em;">The illusion that we have a limited choice is keeping the most imbalanced people at the top, swinging the UK from right, to left, to right again like a pendulum.
