So you only have two canditates then? Otherwise the not having a chance and wasted vote frame of mind is nothing other than a cop out imho. It may take you and others to do so, and certainly a few elections for voices to be heard, but do you really want to have a two party see-saw for eternity?

No the two main parties are separated by only a few hundred votes and the next closest are more than 10000 votes behind.

I doubt the fact that it's so close will help the Lib Dems. People will leave them and vote Tory or Labour to avoid a hung parliament.


Certainly won't vote LibDem now as from listening to Nick Clegg they have clearly alligned themselves with Labour.


It's more accurate to say that Labour has moved to sit where the LibDems have always been, slightly left of centre.

Clegg is biding his time. He knows if he comes down off the fence one way or the other the electorate will vote for the other party to stop him propping up either a Labour or Tory weak government.

It's going to be a long, acrimonious and tedious campaign. I, for one, can't wait for it to be over and we can get on with the job rebuilding our country.

I think that Labour have leap frogged over the LibDems and are now slightly centre right. There policies are certainly right wing, while they may still have some old Lefties in the party they are ignored.
