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."

Redistributive in the sense of taxes on the rich and more money for the poor? Which particular poor? As far as O can see, the Working Families Tax Credit, for example, benefitted only the middle classes, the people who wouldn't have got benefits before but now do.

The actual rates of pensions and benefits have gone up well below the rates of inflation. This isn't particularly unusual, I know.
