# sorry, I don't know how to spell it in cyrillic
I hope that doesn't get in the way of the concept

# I'm just a bit generally disappointed in the propaganda round here at the moment,
they're all of the form "Vote X, because if you vote Y, Z will win."

I'd rather see something more along the lines of "Don't be put off voting X by people who say they can't win."

# I live in a different country so my views are just those of an outsider looking in
That being said, Lib Dems in England have an uphill battle. There is no shame in being the underdog.

# Yep, I agree to the tips of my toes
I've been telling Lib Dem organisers to stop banging on about two horse races and make some proper principled arguments. The whole point of being a Liberal is not being a reactionary arsecandle.

# All three of them are playing the "two horse race" card here at the moment.
It's insane. The latest Labour one tells me that the Conservative candidate is hoping I'll vote Lib Dem. I was kind of under the impression that he'd want me to vote Conservative. But I guess I may as well now, anyway. What are they trying to do here? Make me strategically vote Conservative? I'm sure as hell not voting Labour, because then the Tories will win!

# Labour think the Tories want you to split the Labour vote by voting Lib Dem.
Baffling logic thought up by constituency organiser drones. Surely people vote Lib Dem more because they hate both the Tories and Labour, or because they like our policies. Bizarre tactical voting is an illusion.

# The Tories aren't going to win here
unless almost everyone who voted Lib Dem last time switches parties. The idea that the Tory candidate is rubbing his hands at the thought of people switching from Labour to Lib Dem is completely absurd.
