# Thign is
I can't really see why people who voted Tory at the last election wouldn't do so at this one. It seems to me that the Liberals tend to gain from disenfranchised middle class labour voters, so for them to gain Labour would have to suffer and that can only strengthen the Tories.

# I agree on the Liberals gaining largely
from the Labour vote, but I don't see where any growth without the Tory electorate would come from. I doubt that many, if any, Labour voters would actually switch their allegiances that greatly as to move to the Conservatives. And the fact of the matter is that a vote for the Liberals is the only way you are going to get a vote moving back toward where the Labout manifesto should be :)

# Liberals=more tax
we pay to much already that is completely wasted on shit like humanitarian foreign aid around the world.

Our own society needs the expenditure first.

# A millions pounds spent abroad
That saves a thousand lives
Is worth far more than a million pounds spent at home that builds a new roundabout.

# Nah
there are to many people on the planet; the volume of population has seriously fucked up our home, and needs to be checked. Throwing money at the third world with their largely monged religious mentalities isn't going to solve the larger and more urgent problem. Their economies need to fend for themselves and develop, if it's harsh, then it's harsh. Literally, such is life The days of humans having ten children have to end; it's almost irrelevant in places like Africa where a third might survive; the planet is hovering on an emergency

I'll rather have more secure commercial adventures such as roundabouts in our own society than wasting the taxpayer's money keeping aloft unproductive societies and cultures abroad. There is simply no reasoning why we should keep throwing economic development at these countries; if they haven't sussed it by now, they never will.

# I think there are a number of floating voters
Liberal voters are only going to strengthen the Tories' position.
Edit: And certainly, as mentioned above, there are lots of people pissed off at tax who wouldn't dream of voting for the Liberals' tax-heavy policies.
