kangeikoOh, God. According to the Electoral Reform Society, my parliamentary seat is Marginal 2: "the real front line between Labour and Conservative government". All righty.
Problem is, I generally vote Lib Dem, and was planning to do so again. For the local elections the battle is between Lib Dems and Tories - no issues about voting there. But with the parliamentary elections, it's looking a Labour vs Tory battleground. Which makes the back of my teeth ache. Do I swallow my political convictions and vote - gulp - Labour, simply to try to keep out the Tories? Do I vote Lib Dem regardless? Do I emigrate and make it someone else's problem?
This is why we shouldn't discuss politics at the dinner-table.
