I voted at about 7:35 this morning which felt veeeeeeeeery early. Still, it's done now and I'm feeling rather Meh about the whole thing. I voted because it's my civic duty and I believe very strongly that I should be exercising it because of all the people in the past who couldn't and campaigned for my right to do it.

But...
I had to hold my nose and vote for the least-worst option and that left me feeling rather dirty. I shouldn't come out of the polling booth feeling dirty because I had to vote and all the choices were pretty much equally dire. Let's take these decisions one at a time.
( Local council elections )
( AV referendum )
ETA: This is an example of what I mean. How could one not vote against a campaign that has posters like this?
( The last No to AV poster from Conservative HQ. No, really. WTF? )
