Voting dilemas

It seems it's all about tactics in this election, and perhaps if we all tactically vote right then we might get to vote for who we want (and not waste a vote) next time. In our neck of the woods it's getting very complicated since the split vote against the conservatives is a very real (and imo scary) possibility.

My hubby and I had one of our monthly conversations the other day about chucking out the tele and for once I was against, saying that I really want to keep it to watch the election results coming in. If nothing else, this election has an exciting element of unpredictability to it..... and that in itself may get the electorate a bit more interested in politics or at the very least in voting. Perhaps the chenanigans of the expenses scandal, the recession and the Copenhagen debacle may have a positive longer term outcome somehow. Let's hope so.
