I'm thinking of voting Liberal

Vince Cable talks a lot of sense but the leader is lightweight.

I agree. I liked Charles Kennedy a lot, and admit to voting for them in the past (not that it counted), but since then they don't seem to have a lot of substance (Vince Cable aside).

Everybody should just vote tactially for whoever has the greatest chance of beating Labour in wherever they live. My vote won't count if I don't vote Conservative, but this time I want to.

And that is the reason why it is so important to vote (even if you are voting Labour)

I disagree. Four more years of Brown just to spite UKIP? The BNP is too small and regionalised to worry about. If you support the policies of party then vote for it, if not then don't. I doubt I will be voting, as none have yet convinced me they are worth voting for.

No, I won't be voting Labour just to spite UKIP (i don't know who I'll be voting for). If you don't vote, then you lose the right to complain about whichever shower we end up with.

Ah well, the Liberals seem the least morally corrupt and self-serving party to me. They also seem more interested in looking after the interests of the least well off rather than the rich, which will make a welcome change IMO.

But if you vote for a party you don't really support then you are giving them a mandate they have not earned. Surely you have no right to complain if you did vote for them?

Pretty much my thoughts.

I also think that the tax would be totally unworkable, you would have to value thousands and thousands of homes and the list will have to contantly updated and that is going to be open to corruption.

It will also lead to hundreds of more civil servants in the "Snooping on people who get extensions on 900 grand houses department"

A touch of hyperinflation would bring a lot more properties into the net. Don't forget that failing to update tax thresholds with respect to inflation is a tried and tested ploy.

And with their policies of taxing anyone who dares make any money, you'll soon be joining the ranks of the poor.

I'm starting to get tired of the sound of Vince Cable's voice, he seems to be the media's current "golden boy" of talking sense

Dammit! I'm confused now

Charles Kennedys' my parents constituency MP and is a lovely bloke (when not wasted, apparently).

The problem that the LibDems have and have always had is that they're almost always morally right - they lost a series of elections in the 1990s by saying "erm, sorry to point this out, but taxes need to increase".

I'd LOVE to see a LibDem government but I doubt it.
