Ok, I know a lot of peeps here aren't that interested in what goes on in other countries but for us in the UK and those who are interested it would be good to discuss this.
It's general election time here in a few weeks and it's the closest it's been for decades. Really not much between Labour and the Conservatives in the polls... or in their policies.
It does seem like there is a very real chance of a hung parliament, which I personally think would be the best result.
If that happens then we'd either get a minority government and another election soon or a Labour-Lib Dem coalition which could really bring about change on issues such as electoral reform (fixed terms, some sort of PR) and maybe even stuff like drugs policy and renewal of trident where the Lib Dems have a different position to the other parties. Plus I think Vince Cable would make a much better Chancellor than Alastair Darling or George Osbourne.
Locally, it's a strong Tory seat here with Lib Dems second. I'll vote Lib Dem as they have the best chance of beating my twat of an MP and they are (in my view) the least-worse option.
This gives a good indication of where the parties stand on the political spectrum:
