Wow lib dems are getting so much support lately.

I'll be honest if anyone asked me who I was voting for I'd claim the lib dems, if nothing else it puts the ******* up the other parties for the time being. I'm bored of having a two party system and think the smaller parties need to start getting more support (with a few exceptions). Hung parliament isn't a great thing but it does have advantages, it's not all negative and many countries manage perfectly well with them.

No idea who I'll actually vote for - but I suspect like quite a few people I'll claim lib dem for now, polls be damned.

So your problem with the Parliament acts is the restriction on fox hunting? I would say the other 3 post-1949 things (trying Nazis, bringing in PR, and lowering the age of consent for male homosexuals to 16) were very good things.

Agreed, but it's not the foxhunting thing per se, more the belief that parliament should restrict the rights of individuals if it's popular to do so.

Also you hardly need scientific evidence that animals suffer at the hands of hunting, and you need to be a cruel human to get enjoyment out of such an activity.

Animals suffer in most ways they are killed. There was and indeed is absolutely zero evidence that the ban on fox hunting has lessened the number of foxes killed, nor was there any evidence that fox hunting was measurably worse than other approaches for killing foxes. (I am ignoring the issue of a couple of hunts purposely breeding foxes to hunt, I strongly disagree with that).

The whole 'enjoyment' argument is a smokescreen, the fox remains dead whether the person who killed it is laughing and joking or crying their eyes out.

I'd fully support a ban on fox hunting if there was actual, genuine animal welfare benefits to it, but all the evidence (even from the report that was commissioned to justify the ban) does not support that is the case.

Also, I don't believe the LibDem here, as what he's saying is not what all the literature has said in the past. I know it is clichéd, but Labour have had 13yrs to do all they promise....

We know you're a tory through and through mate don't need to keep repeating yourself like a tory. Honestly we get it - you don't want the Lib Dems or Labour to win.

I'm biased, find me someone that isn't. This is also GD.

My comments still stand. Both of them are accurate.

Yes you are!

That's the second time you posted that Clegg interview!

And yes, i think it should very much be a deal breaker which party it will aline itself with in a hung parament.

Tory/Lib-dem = I can live with

Lib/Lab = Country goes down the sink-hole
 
I think it's extremely disappointing at the number of people who will sway their votes due to a television debate. I suspect that the majority of those polled/social networkers have not made the effort to educate themselves on policies and policy implications.

People are looking for a president type figure - ridiculous parallels even drawn by the Guardian to Obama. That is not how our political system works. X-Factor politics will be the downfall of this election.
 
From what people have been saying and voting on several sites, few people have faith in labour anymore so hopefully they won't get back in.

Someone needs to ask the loaded question to Nick Clegg regarding whether he thinks the country has had enough of GB and the Labour party, followed by whether he will rule out a coalition with Labour in a hung parliament.

He can't say he will offer "real change" and then climb into bed with Labour if there's no overall majority.

Agreed – what ever happened to policies not personalities?
 
Just been on the C4 news.

Donations to Conservative party last month: ~£1.5m
Donations to Labour party last month: ~£750k
Donations to Lib Dems last month: ~£20k

We can start to see how much of the establishment is against us now.

I imagine that has rocketed after the debates though, loads of talks of (small) donations over at the fb page above.

Also, I wonder how much of Labour's money has come from Unite/unions, and Tory's Ashcroft :)
