I'll be voting Lib Dem, not by default or anything, but because I have always been a supporter and I really think that they provide a viable alternative. I do, however, live in a Tory stronghold, which makes me kind of sad. I have a postal vote and everything. It all feels very real.

Regardless, it's likely to be a hung parliament, and that will mean another election within a couple of years. I think it's necessary for the political system to have a big shake up. I'm not convinced that Lib-Lab would be a good thing, and who would go into coalition with the Torys?

I dunno. Even if I wasn't such a Lib Dem supporter I know I couldn't vote Conservative, because they're, at the moment all style and no substance. And I couldn't vote Labour, because all of their reforms have seemingly been designed to screw my family over.

I know there are loads of smaller parties and independents, but in my view it will always be one of the big three, simply because of the electoral system we have, and therefore I will place my vote with the one of the three I feel to be the most appropriate.
