Most of those elections where you would not vote in, had "hard" left labourites running or candidates close to the hard left.

What party would you join after you would hypothetically burn your members card on facebook or would you become an independent?

I'm not sure of those "hard left labourites" as i wasn't able to identify them (i don't know the opposite caniddates well enough). Although I do know of the 2010 hard-left candidate, but I felt uncomfortable showing support for her, for some reason, although that might be misguided (because my main source of determining who i vote for is the wikipedia, but that might not voice the subtilities of things, and the sentiment that was around in that particular year).

___

For now independent. I don't see which party I could join (exc. for in Northern Ireland and Scotland, latter clearly SNP).

Perhaps i'd join
Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition

or

Burning Pink

But it would probably depend on where I live and whichever party is better established, the latter probably only in a few cities. So if more rural / suburban TUSC, otherwise "perhaps" Burning Pink, as I do feel both currently are the parties that are closest to me IN THEORY, but it could be different in practice.

Being an independent as i said is a possibility as well. One of those options is not-voting as well. In a close election voting for the Tories is also an option, as I genuinely believe BoJo is the lesser evil of the two and as I genuinely don't want Labour to win at this moment (and likely i vote in an area where Burning Pink doesn't field a candidate, unless it would be me of course). Otherwise TUSC is an option, and if not close and those two don't run (which is most likely the case in a more rural area), i'd probably stay home at this point.
