I have voted Labour all my life but at the last election I had a bit of a dilemma. In my constituency the sitting Tory MP was almost sure to be elected. The only chance of keeping him out was to vote for the LibDem. Labour has no chance round here.So like a mug I voted LibDem and the Tory still got in.Yet the LibDem and Labour vote added together would have kept the Tory out. Is this Democracy. If so no wonder people are so disillusioned
