Exciting times (especially for those of us living in Lib Dem/Labour marginals)

Independent: Vote for Lib Dems will not let in Tories. "[T]he Tories
come nowhere near to passing the winning post of 324 seats they would
need to form a government. Crucially, if enough people switched from
Labour to the Liberal Democrats, Mr Kennedy's party would start to win
seats instead of the Tories -- so the result would be a hung
parliament rather than a Tory government."

I'm torn. Obviously I'd like the Lib Dems to be the UK's second party, and the Tories to be consigned to the dustbin of history. But I don't want them to actually get in the way of the current government's proven ability to continually get good things done. A dilemma!

LMAO, do you guys just sit in front of computers all day and night? Look around you, SEE what labour has done to Britain, a place we were once proud to live! Before labour got in, I had My own business that was doing very well, I now find Myself struggling to pay the inflated bills that we all receive. How many of you have seen businesses go bye bye during labour? Business cannot afford to fund employees the wages they need with the enhanced inflation and taxes labour have brought to us. How much debt have you got? how much debt did you have before labour, or could you afford to buy things back then? lol. How many kids can read and write when leaving school these days? How many of the teachers can read and write? See much crime around you? You like that? seems labour do! Health, I see money has been increased yearly for the health service at way below the rate it was during the Conservative government, Where's the rest of the cash going? Iraq, well, I agree that something had to be done there, I've visited countries where they have had previous dictatorships, and celebrated 'independence day' with the peoples, In time, Iraq now has a chance! What I disagree with, is the false way that blair went around the whole business, and if anyone wants to have him in court for war crimes, then I for one will back them.

labour have failed Britain miserably, and have done maye too much damage now that any party who gets in will have a major cleanup problem.

A vote for the lib dems is just simply a vote for labour, although I concede that in many local areas they will gain seats from labour, they aint got a hope in hell, and most of their policies will only jumble the taxes around, thus we pay same as we do under labour dictatorship, Whilst sitting back seeing little change with anything else. Conservatives have proved in the past that they can improve Britain, Look at the lifestyle/financial changes brought around in the 70's and 80's. although I admit that Britain has never been in a worse state, whoever gets in is gonna have one hell of a hard time 'Getting Britain back to what we had'.

Someone posted a message about the good labour have done, where is that??? A huge percentage of Britain is now living below the poverty line, and yet you say it's good to help poor countries? Look at home first, once we have a viable business model, we can afford to fund poorer countries.

Use your votes carefully, or live with the repercussions of another labour dictatorship.

Steve!

I think the Lib Dems are the only real alternative, and the only party that's not been given a crack of the whip. I'd be worse off with Lib Dem via Income Tax, but I still think it's a damn good idea, as they're aiming to give help to those who need it. Labour failed us, don't get me started on the Tories.
