(24 May 2014, 9:02 am)AdamY wrote A similar thing happened to me during the run-up to the 2010 General Election. Dave Anderson, accompanied by a bunch of Labour councillors, knocked on my door asking how I was going to vote. At the time, I replied Liberal Democrats. They asked why and I explained that I agreed with a lot of their policies. They tried to persuade me that I would be wasting vote by voting LibDem. I conceded this point before arguing any vote made under FPTP is essentially wasted unless you vote for the party that wins and, in my opinion, Labour wouldn't win, so my vote would be wasted regardless. They went away that.
Of course, voting LibDem was a big mistake in retrospect. But hindsight is a wonderful thing...
One thing that hit me after reading that article.
I probably agree with the bit in bold. As a potential Labour voter, I just don't trust Ed Balls to oversee the economy and, furthermore, although I don't mind Ed Miliband, I can't envisage him as Prime Minister.
They both lack the charisma and confidence needed to run the country.
But David 'hug a hoodie' Cameron and Gideon 'coke, hookers and BDSM' Osbourne do?
