You will only get rid of labour by voting tory, any other vote is a vote for labour.
It's that mentality which will ensure that we all get screwed over once again.
Vote for the party you want to win and be done with. Or don't bother voting at all.
if you vote libdem:
1. they will never win another 270 seats to gain power. A swing of that size has never occurred even in the Thatcher landslide.
2 your might cause a hung parliament. In the event of a hung parliament, the incumbent government gets first refusal to carry on governing. So its the same as voting for the incumbent government in practice.
3 if labour forrn a minority government they will not share power, and will not have a lib dem MP(s) foisted on them as part of a deal. The best the LibDems can manage will be negotiated support on a vote by vote basis. such an arrangement will not last long. its impossible to rule like this (Both Heath and Wilson tried it) and will result in another general election within months or a year
4, therefore, you have two choices if you want your vote to have a noticeable effect - vote for the incumbent government and keep them in power, or vote for the next largest party, the Torys, and topple the government.
its a simple as that. Voting any other way is a hypothetical vote.
