Probably would have stayed at home given the choices you got in 1983. A pro-privatisation conservative party or a hard left socialist party.

Sort of important to remember that you vote for a candidate in your constituency, not for a party, as such - which can make things complicated. There were quite a few Labour candidates in 1983 who Ben would (presumably) have no problem voting for, while others...

No. He supports limiting the timespan for abortions, as Thatcher did in the late 1980s (lowering it from 28 weeks to 24 weeks) but no, he isn't pro-life. Very few UK politicians are, except those in fringe theocratic or far-right parties.

Clearly the solution is to privatize presidential elections.

So, in less than four years, get excited for the 2016 MetLife Financial U Pick The Prez Extravaganza. If you tweet a picture of your completed ballot with the hashtag #ivoted, you could win a trip for two to the inauguration or an iTunes gift card.

That doesn't really make sense, as UKIP doesn't run candidates in Northern Ireland and SF doesn't run candidates in Britain. The Conservatives did run candidates in Northern Ireland, but they were unionist and anti-nationalist.
