I have rarely been in such agony of indecision... Today is potentially the most important election Zimbabwe has ever had- and I don't know whether to vote or not.

Morgan Tsvangirayi's pull-out (on Sunday) has left confusion in the ranks of Zimbabwe's moderate voters (and I am one of them); does it make sense to protest against the unfairness of the way the campaigning was done, and the uneven playing field by not voting- or does it make more sense to go and register my discontent by voting? Almost everyone I have spoken to in the last two days is not going to "bother" to vote- "because 'he' has won anyway, because what's the point, because if we all go and vote, we are saying the election is right".

MDC has sent pamphlets around asking people not to vote- which is in line with what Morgan did on Sunday. But what will it say if a substantial number of voters go to the polls, and Mugabe still wins? The only way the boycott will make any sense is if NO ONE in opposition to the situation goes to vote, and the turn-out is disgustingly low- but will that happen?? The MDC have also asked those who are forced to vote to spoil their ballots(someone said she would draw a smiley face)....

What to do? :(
