MPs that I've been "represented" by in my lifetime include Den "currently under investigation by the European Anti-Fraud Office" Dover and Julian "I managed to kill someone by driving on the wrong side of the road" Brazier. The former was from before I was old enough to vote, and the latter was in a constituency that has returned only Conservative MPs since 1874.

I don't do tactical voting. Never have, and I doubt I ever will. In 2001 I voted Lib Dem, even though the Labour candidate had a better chance of unseating Brazier. I totally agree that we need a better system, though.
