The Liberal Democrats are screwed either way. The Tories have no respect whatsoever for the welfare state while Brown's clowns in Labour want to use the threat of terrorism as a bludgeon to destroy British civil liberties in that fascist ID programme of theirs. In the past, I would have said that a government with Labour would be more in line with Liberal values, as Labour is ostensibly a party in the progressive tradition of politics, however "new labour" has espoused policies that do not even marginally resemble the principles upon which the party was founded. However the thought of letting the Tories (and that sodding tit Cameron) decide what to do with the social safety net is not at all a pleasant one. Really it's a rotten load of bollocks any way you slice it.

I spent the 80's and 90's wanting to be rid of the Tories, the fact that Labour once they gained power would be no different was something I was told but hoped would not be true. I guess like many I've gravitated to the Liberals as they have as yet been untarnished by power.
