con's all the way, however if brown's new policy with the 10% tax i do like, and if all his policy's were of similler nature i could be tempted into labour (old cons)

As I've said before, why is this the case? Why did - does - the English electorate allow this to happen? When you have a two-party system you end up with either polar opposites or parties that you can only tell apart by the name of the leader (if you can even remember it). Countries where there are more than two mainstream parties seem to be a bit "happier", politically speaking (IMO).

Historically the other parties havent gained enough votes for people to have faith in them being elected and see it as a wasted vote. This is also suggested in the media in terms of the wasted vote.

If the sums were done and the other parties abilities were highlighted and demonstrated then people may tick the X in their box

Until these two factors come in people will either vote:

For the one party the love
The Party they have been socially forced to vote for
The party they used to like and hope will return
The one party of the two they hate the less

But can lib dem (who of course are the closest to break the 'polyicl oligopoly') can provide a stable UK?

Im not sure

Good point, Lost, but then the same was probably said about Labour back in the 20's. But then politics is a funny old game - in the 1994 general election in Canada, the Progressive Conservatives went from being the ruling party to having TWO seats - even the Prime Minister at the time lost her seat.

And now, since 2004, the Conservatives (they got rid of the "Progressive") have been the ruling party again, after 10 years of the Liberals.

For sure, it can change, no doubt just when and how is what i (as a non politically driven person) will sit back and watch with interest

-Educate people on quality nutirtion and penalise supermarkets for BOGOF on crap and plough money into making wholesome food more appealing and affordable

If any party supports my requirements they can happily have my vote, otherwise i am staying politically agnostic

Also add - punish nasty little scrotes properly for committing crimes - not this soft nancy 'community service' bollocks.
- a party that makes people realise that most political correctness is patronising and insulting, and that most ethnic minorities, women, gays, whatever find it embarrassing
- Get rid of this crappy benefit-ridden 'entitlement' culture. I'm all for benefits being available if needed, but there should be an expectation of people that if you want a nice car, holidays and a 52" telly, you should bloody well work for it, and not expect the state to provide it.
- The state should stop interfering in our lives and treating us like mentally handicapped children. We are not stupid and we are capable of forming our own opinions. If they don't agree with yours, tough.

Basically I'll vote for whoever will get (new and distinctly unimproved) Labour out.

totally agree^^^^^^
