yes vote Liberal to keep liebour in power, keep the Tories out, how then do we keep Thatchers lot out they have been in for fourteen years with Blair and then brown, I have voted labour all my life , well the working part, and I can assure Balls I will be voting Tory because to be honest after the mess new Labour has made we need to sort it out and I do not think Brown has an idea's left or that he did in the first place....

BGarvie

By this admission from Hain and Balls, Labour have now given up on any hope of winning the Election. So a tactical vote for Clegg will get Brown. The electorate have a clear choice, a vote for the Conservatives will give D.C a strong mandate to drag this country off its knees and make a better life for all.A hung Parliament would a nightmare and endanger recover with a Lib/Lab Pact, where Labour would be the dominant partner. A strong vote in Favour of Cameron is needed.

A plaintiff cry to hang on to their own lucrative trough. If people vote with their heads, remembering the dreadful legacy of debt and corruption wrought by THEM, then Labour won't get a seat.
