# I like Lib Dem only in the sense that I like them more than Labour and Tory,
and my decision to vote that way has more than a hint of strategy to it.

PR would turn the entire principle of democracy in this country upside-down.

# DAMN RIGHT
I liked the Lib Dems better when they were pledging to raise taxes to cover their manifesto - it was refreshingly honest. Then unfortunately they started stabbing their leaders in the back until they got one who looks like a clone of David Cameron but is even more boring :( I like Charles Kennedy, I'd vote for him.

Disclaimer: I did actually vote for Menzies Campbell. If you live in North-East Fife you're more or less required to by law.

# Tax rises are still in there
50% top rate for those earning 150,000 or more.

# I like this
(Though I'd add that it's easier to promise tax rises when you know you're unlikely to get voted in and have to try and force it through. Still, I like it.)
