I voted Lib-Dem. I did so because they had the policies I believed in and they went so far as to publicly pledge to honour their promises. I didn't expect them to get into power on their own. I expected them to have a coalition with Labour and temper Labours policies to find a middle ground to steer us through this financial minefield.
I honestly never even gave the idea of a Liberal/Conservative coalition a thought. And I certainly didn't think for one moment that the Liberals would do a U-turn on everything they promised in such a total and blatant way.
Naive or stupid? I don't know, probably both.
If there was an election tomorrow, I wouldn't know how to vote. There is no party I trust now, and none who reflect my ideology.

When more that just a few people get together, the direction they can take can be frightening....where the original good ideas go to I do not know.
Our MP was Lembit Opik - imagine that as a choice! I am voting Green from now on. Whatever the realities they at least have sincerity on their side. That's if we ever have another democratic election - so much of what our ancestors fought for is being dismantled, I expect to be disenfranchised any day now.
i'm considering setting up my own party...the right direction...
nah claire, you're not on your own...i did the same.
I know, I did the same thing. The future for this country looks bleak :(
