Since we are talking conspiracy, at the end of the day it's the Rothschilds we are really voting for, when voting for the three main parties. When & if we get electoral reform, that may change, but somehow I doubt it.
I've hated Gordon Brown & New Labour for 13 years, so it'll be refreshing to hate someone else for a change.
I've just been watching the news on BBC1 and according to a Lib Dem MP, negotiations with New Labour didn't get anywhere as Gordon Brown wouldn't compromise on anything, including electroral reform, which doesn't surprise me at all. When speaking to the media, he's always telling the electorate what they want to hear, but behind closed doors he's doing the complete opposite.

That's funny coming from someone whose a victim of New Labour spin. New Labour spin is a disease where those affected think they are wearing red rose-tinted glasses. The victim thinks they are living a life of luxury and they worship the ground New Labour walks on, but unfortunately if the victim were to take off their glasses, they would see everything isn't as it seems.
I'm not a Tory, I'm just not idiotic enough to vote and reward a party who has decimated this country over the last 13 years and will continue to do so if they form the next government. Wake up and smell the coffee.

The thing I do not get with the Lib Dems , is that , should they go into an alliance with the Tories, they would be forever tainted with that association. The Tories could put up a national referendum on AV or PR , and all the tory voters would vote no , followed by a legion of Labour supporters out to exact revenge for the treachery by sitting on their hands or a no vote . They cannot win by these means, they would split the party and alienate scottish voters. It is a no go.

Just watched the 'Lib Con' (very apt term, I feel betrayed by the libs) press conference in the back garden of Downing St., everyone seems agog with their performance, body language, comradery etc. What i find worrying is the use of the term "Common Purpose" 5 times.

I agree that nothing so important ought to change without a referendum. My point is that the groundwork has already been done. When the majority of people make their minds up on issues of the economy, they dont read economists to form an opinion. Similarly, they dont read education theory before they decide how they want schools run. Some couldn't understand, some couldn't be bothered.
Academic experts may well consult with MPs but it is the general public that needs to fully understand how their vote will count toward the government they actually want.
