I'm in a dilemma about tactical voting... but I just *can't* vote Labour

Martin Kettle's piece Are you thinking what I'm thinking about the election? is well written and well researched.

I think he's right (although obviously he's trying to galvanise Labour voters rather than supporting the Conservatives) ... but I'll be voting for the party I believe in (Lib Dem) in Stroud instead of voting tactical Labour. The Labour party seem to be deaf to the electorate's cry that they will get hammered because they didn't get rid of Blair over Iraq. If Gordon Brown were PM their re-election would be virtually guaranteed.

I think at the moment I would rather the Tories came back rather than another term of Blair and co. We might get Boris Johnson as Foreign Secretary or something in a couple of years time - how cool would that be?!
