Well I'm gonna go for option 2, obviously
To be honest, there are good reasons/arguments for both options.
But here's the thing: Yes, labour did some good things whilst in power and it looks to me like Cameron has hired the labour campaign organisers to be his cabinet ministers. But the way things are, I will never vote for labour, simply because I remember why they were voted out of power. Likewise, I could never vote tory for much the same reason.
To be perfectly honest, I've seen what they're like in the house of commons. It's like watching a class of bickering 5 year olds when the teacher has left the room. They make the worst net troll look like a thoughtful, seasoned debater in comparison.
Gridlock does not excuse you the voter of doing nothing. "They're both crap" is bullshit. Get in the game with your voice at a minimum, or run for office or create that third party. "I am not voting" is as useful as praying to a god, it does absolutely NOTHING.
