He will use the Vote for policies website. Research his local candidates and make an intelligent decision based on that.
He will definitely not just vote blindly for who his parent's voted for or which leader he likes best. That would be stupid.

I know it might be a bit of an echo chamber, but I've seen many people saying the same thing.
If Greens get a larger share of the vote than UKIP it would be a massive change in UK politics. Pandering to the right will be seen as being counter productive.

All of the parties do. The greens are pretty upfront about what they eventually want and what's practical at least.

I'm still quite annoyed that we didn't manage to change the voting system when we had the chance.

As a traditionalist, I am against change. Even when that change may be beneficial to parties I sympathise with, politically.
Just can't bring myself to vote for something that might change the comfortable status quo. So I didn't vote at all. For me, that's basically voting for something.
So you're welcome, for all the good it did us, brother.

Come the revolution you will be first up against the wall.
Or possibly second or third, we haven't really worked out the finer details yet.

Hey man, i'm on your side, here.
At least as long as that doesn't require me to actually do anything. Best I can offer is fence sitting with the occasional disapproving scowl.

Well yeah, I say revolution, but it will mainly involve a bit of tutting and muttering under the breath.

Turns out I'm 100% Labour.
That website probably isn't a reliable indicator of where the country is heading, as it seems to be predicting a Lab/Green coalition (which doesn't have a catchy nickname like the ConDems had).
