This is another thing.
If people don't like Labour, they vote Tory. If they don't like the Tories, they vote Labour. If these people stopped to think for a moment, they might remember a third party, whose policies are neither champagne socialist nor Orwellian, and if a sufficient number of people voted for that third party, then voting for it would no longer be the same thing as voting for [whichever of the other two parties is not currently in power]. But these people don't vote for the Lib Dems, because "they've never been in power", which is tantamount to saying they've never had an opportunity to prove they're bad, unlike the other two, who get opportunities to show how they can fuck things up on a regular basis.

I do agree with your classification, though: Labour are corrupt and incompetent but the Conservatives are actively evil.

The Lib Dem's are like damp squibs though
Nick Clegg has barely voiced an opinion.

Either way, we're fucked.

That's Nick Clegg, though. He volunteered to be Cameron's catamite.
They had a voice in Paddy Ashdown. Not had much luck in recent years finding a leader who wasn't either a lame duck or an alkie.

Agreed
Paddy was trutworthy, as was John Smith for labour. Damn your heart John!!! In affect his death allowed that slimey tory to run the labour party into the ground. People on B3ta seem to have a lot of time perhaps we should start a party??

There seems to be a cosmic rule to that effect.
For John Smith it was:

Pros - Trustworthy, principled
Cons - Crap heart.

For Dominique Strauss-Kahn it was:

Pros - Brilliant political and financial brain
Cons - Sex pest.

The people of Syria probably wouldn't agree.
I see your point though.

I can't see voting Lib Dem being an especially attractive option at the next election.
Between the outright lying, and vote yellow, get blue, I'd imagine that they'll be back in the political wilderness for some time.
