    Vote Labour. Better the devil you know!

    I just had the vision of voting in hell, one box to tick and a trident up the Harris if you don't vote.

    Always either voted Labour or abstained in the past but going to be voting tory this time. I think I've just grown up. All I expect is competence. If I get honesty and integrity on top of that I'll consider it a fantastic bonus.

    a well-hung parliament (lib/lab) might suit.

    that way cable might exert some influence.

    but tories under an old etonian, bullingdon club inner circle?

    too much like back to the future for me thanks.

    Mortgage-free Glee!
    I'm almost tempted to vote labour as part of me would like to see all the (gazillion) chickens come home to roost with them still at the helm..

    However as morbidly facinating as that may be I will be voting for the tories in the hope that they don't treat our money (or should that be debt now?) in the manner 'prudent' Gordo has.

    LibDem for me - at least they will increase the tax personal allowance to £10,000.
