   *sigh*
I knew some ne would say they didn't like Coke. I f*cking knew it. If you don't like Coke then in the bloody analogy you wouldn't have picked it as your first choice, just as if you only drink one kind of pissing soft drink then in the bloody analogy you would have selected some other commodity like Indian and Chinese food or Vans and Nike trainers or Charmin and Izal bog-roll. Analogies only work at the level they are defined and in the context they are used - disproving the pissing analogy does not disprove the point it's designed to illustrate and the only thing that makes it a bad analogy is allowing room for some joker to arse about with it. Try this one then - you're in a restaurant and you chose something off the menu, the waiter says - sorry chief, that's off - okay, you say, I'll have something else, but the waiter says - oh no sunshine, you only get one choice. 

Once again: if you don't like Tory policy or don't like the conniving old-school-tie chinless wonder they've selected as your local candidate then you won't be voting for him would you, and you certainly won't be picking him as your first, second, third, forth or fifth choice so no matter what happens your vote will never, ever be counted as a Tory vote. However if you like the Labour policies, but think the Greens make sense and rather fancy the pretty Independent candidate then perhaps you may be able to put those in order of preference and just maybe won't be too upset if your second or third choice wins.
