I can't imagine you would not.

You can use the Lib dem website to see.

Have you not had the first lot of bumf from lib dems and conservatives yet (we have had from both those parties ..but not the others yet, labour stand, but have never one here, UKIp usually gets a good proportion of votes here, but we are Lib Deb with tory 2nd.)

Although IMO, the people are important the policies are.

May I tentatively recommend you do some of he blind online questionnaires? They were really very helpful for me.

Thanks I will have a look on the Lib Dem website, I might even know the candidate when I see them as I work for the district council! Where would I find the online questionnaires? I have only had BNP and Tory stuff through, but I have moved in the last fortnight (but still in the same district) so this is why I might not have seen them.

I'm quite impressed with Gordon. Cameron looks uncomfortable & I think Clegg is over-acting (& I think it's phoney deliberately saying the name of questioner every time, he's doing it for effect).

Cameron is beginning to annoy me, need to track down this slapometer thing

I'm sorry, I can't find any quickly, but a search of this forum or the net will find them...or remind me after this. (trying to watch, keep up her, and discussing an epilator on health forum... all while on the phone..there is a limit....I don't think I can google search at same time!)

Labour is defo not getting my vote as we're in this mess because of them (13 years I think is long enough to get it right)

Libs or Tories mmmmm

come to thnink of it we haven't had any lib dem bumf either.....

wasn't impressed with the defence debate. no one willing to tackle the fact we are fighting some of the most unpopular wars of all time in iraq and afghanistan.

agree with scrapping nuclear deterent so thumbs up for lib dems there.

i really cringe when i hear them all saying our brave men and women...they're not all brave. i've met servicemen who are just thick and annoying and doing it for the money cos they can't get another job.

Hey, it says this about the Lib Dems in my area on that Sky News website, what does it mean? Will I not have a candidate at the election then?

The Liberal Democrats have shut down their North West Leicestershire branch just months before the general election. The party’s headquarters in London decided to suspend all of the group’s 60 members after alleged in-fighting and rule-breaking. While being suspended local Lib Dems cannot stand as PPC and no official meetings will be held. The East Midlands regional party branch is now handling the affairs of the branch

It is, Clegg is constantly looking straight down the camera, brown looks every now and then. Cameron is using a different tactic of speaking directly to either the audience in the studio or the presenter.

It will be interesting to see how the different papers report this in the morning.

Lib Dem have come accross so much better than the other 2 in the last few weeks IMHO, but then I guess they can put foward whatever promises they like without fear of being pulled up on not delivering in a year or twos time...
