Is it typical to vote for the 'least worst' chap in politics or is that a terrible artefact of FPTP voting?

I however despise cities, so I'm clearly not corrupted by "large city multiculturalism" or whatever that guff was. :p

Judging by the "what are your politics" thread, you and I seem to have very similar views. :)

That said, even in my charming 93%-or-so-white corner of Gloucestershire, there is still an Asian family running our local corner store not 200 yards away. :)

Fun fact - I lived in Caerleon for two years whilst at university and whilst I met several people who spoke Welsh, I only ever met one person for whom I knew that Welsh was his mother tongue.

At the risk of sounding parochial (at best), I wasn't aware that anyone of Asian extraction even lived in Wales. The West Country is something like 95% white, but when I lived in Caerleon, the most exciting person there was an Italian barber!

(Edit: Judging by our last VM conversation two years ago, I've clearly forgotten that you'd already mentioned this!)
