^this^Hopefully, if/when they lose this time & the Tories fuck the country up even more, Labour will kick out the Thatcherite Blairites & go back to being more left of centre.

I don't think it is if they lose but whenCameron could explain his latest policy of killing all the first born sons and he would still be in with a chance

Depends - given the unique way our voting system worksIf today's poll (Lab 31, Con 37, Lib 20, Racists & Loonies 12) is true, Labour could actually get the most seats (though not an absolute majority).

I agreeLabour will almost definately 'lose', but the Tories won't neccessarily 'win'.
At the end of the day (annoying phrase), most people just vote the way they always have anyway.

Not necessarilytalking to my mum this weekend it seems Labour have lost every vote from three generations of my family - we've all independently (and I mean that because I'd like to meet anyone who could change my grandad's mind) come to the conclusion that this time around we'll be lending our support to the Lib Dems. None of us have ever voted for anyone outside of the Labour party before.

You have two choicesa) A centre right government with a right wing back bench and business funding.
b) A centre right government with a left wing back bench and union funding.

There are at least THREE choices in every constituencyI'm so sick of this "well, the Libs will never win so what's the point" attitude.
People bang on about how great a democracy is, and then fail to take advantage of it.

Hey, it could be worse,I live in Jersey, and after the local government here pushed through some very unpopular tax legislation a couple of years ago, in the election that followed, we had a turnout on polling day of about 25%. That's just bloody ridiculous. On the plus side...we don't have party politics over here :)
