No pancake?
You are joking, right
*slow claps*
Lib Dem for Westminster (not that it makes any odds, Coventry North West is a safe Labour seat), and the Greens for the Local Council (not expecting them to get in either).
While the Libs policies on the Banks (in particular) are tinged with the crazy, across most areas they have clearly better policies than either Labour or the Tories. Labour need to go, but the Tories policies in areas such as Education are horrifically bad, and since they flopped and floundered over their deficit cutting plans I have little faith left that they would actually take the strong economic hand that was their most attractive feature in the weeks before the election campaign proper.
It's looking now like the most likely outcome tomorrow is a hung parliament, followed by a Lib-Lab pact. Although a weak conservative government is also possible and a Lib-Tory pact an outside chance. All have merits, a Lib-Lab pact would likely deliver electoral reform; a weak Tory government would at least mean no more Labour but Cameron's vaguely progressive approach would be compromised by the need to keep the howling loons on the party's right on side and likely an official or unofficial pact with the likes of the DUP. In many ways, a Tory/Lib pact with a promise of electoral reform is the most attractive option but I think Cameron is unlikely to entertain PR and the two parties strong disagreements over tax policy are likely to prove insurmountable.

I continue to be amazed at the level of support for the Lib Dems given their crazy defence policies
What happens if it's a hung parliament? Is there another election in 12 months or so?
Depends how much the tories misses a majorty by, if's a big gap then yes, if they only miss a majorty by a few seats i won't bother if i were them
