Even while I admit that a few people voting for opposition minority parties COULD possibly let either the Tories OR the Labourites in again I feel that if enough of us are not afraid to try to introduce a third way we might just pull in enough votes to displace the previous power of the big two.
It is only by thinking that a vote for the Liberal Democrats in England could be a wasted vote that not enough people will actually make that necessary change.
If people are too afraid to make a change in voting habits we ARE just going to get "more of the same". I do not think that many of the electorate - other than the died-in-the-wool Tories or Labourites - are wanting more of the same and that is why I think that now is the time to be courageous and to do something different and radical if we REALLY want change.
