To those arguing for tactical votes....

[ben_packard]

In common with many voters, I am undecided myself whether I can afford to vote LibDem and let the Tories win in a close seat. But I wonder what people wanting to vote LD are waiting for. Essentially, you're looking for a situation where the Tories won't win overall and the LD number of seats will be increased. Isn't that exactly what we have here? I would imagine a Labour victory is almost guarenteed. So why vote tactically to stop the Conservatives, which is essentially playing into Labour's hands ("we're shit but not that shit" seems to be their ethos). Perhaps this is the election where the LDs 'cross over'. If not now, when?
