Actually, B, I don't believe I have used an 'if you're unhappy with supermarket x then try supermarket y' political party analogy, mainly because I'd rather shop at Scrivens, Gladdishes and Mr Saunders on the corner.
But cornflakes, yes. Every 5 years or so the stomachs of hungry Brits rumble so much they drool over committing to one tasteless cornflake rather than another tasteless cornflake seemingly unaware that all brands are manufactured in the same factory, that other breakfasts are available (some cereal, some animal), or that not having breakfast at all is an option.
But, before this analogy gets too soggy, or congeals: a) vote, whine for 5 years, then vote again, b) if no party matches your politics, don't vote, c) sod democracy (or what passes for it over here).
Both b) and c) are 'hard-headed' options.
