I've voted three times (UK) since I am but a wee bairn and I've only actually had the chance to go to three elections. The media is just a load of fucking tripe here. Rupert Murdoch basically has the power to choose who gets into power because he owns so many newspapers. For some reason, the BBC gives an overwhelming amount of coverage to UKIP despite the fact that up until recently they didn't have any members of Parliament. They give so much coverage that they could only ever help UKIP's cause. Which they have. The supposedly political neutral broadcaster has given a far right party a leg up. It's a complete fucking joke.
