I agree that the economy is the most important issue, but my worry is that they won't fix it - they might reduce the debt, but at what cost? You can't cut £6bn of public spending in a year without cutting jobs, and people in my immediate family, including myself, work jobs that rely on government spending. This is why I'm worried.

But, hey, if they can save a bunch of rich people hundreds of thousands of pounds by raising the inheritance tax threshold to £1 million, I guess the Tories aren't so bad. *eyeroll*

The problem with the Lib Dems is that the voters are too spread out - they got 23% of the popular vote but less than 10% of the seats. That's why we need proportional respresentation, but as it would only help the Lib Dems the other parties will never go for it.
