The two big parties in British Politics are clearly Labour and the Conservatives. It has been this way for the past 100 years and will probably continue to do so. Between them they polled 65.1% (19,336,141 votes) in the 2010 General Election.

If You then add the 3rd Party the Liberal Democrats then the figure goes up to 88.1% (26,172,965 votes). What this essentially means is that the 3 biggest parties have a monopoly of support amongst the UK Public. If any party is to have any real chance of breaking this monopoly then they must have wealthy backers, mass support and a highly developed local and national structure. Of all the major fringe parties none of them fit this bill!

• Make sure your name is on the Electoral Register for your area. This is a list of everyone who can vote.

• You can contact your local council to make sure you are on this list.• The council will send you a card just before an election. This is

called a polling card.• The card tells you where and when to vote.
