I wouldn't feel ashamed Scarpe, I voted Labour in 1997. Never voted Labour again though and never will as long as I live.

I consider myself a Liberal too, I share a great many of the ideals of the Lib Dem party. But they're just not electable are they?

It would be different if my vote counted ie they brought in Proportional Representation, or better still the electorate could force the elected government to implement cherry-picked policies. I'm all for liberal economics, banking reform and sensible immigration policy, yet I want to see wrongdoers given stiffer sentences. I want to see less reliance on fossil fuels, but they can shove green taxes.

Don't ever be afraid of your opinions. It's up to politicians to shape their policies to fit with your opinion. Not the other way around.
