Frankly I'd rather you voted Veritas, UKIP, Plaid Cymru, SNP, Monster 
Raving Loony Party, Pensioners against the Bomb or even "New" Labour 
rather than the Labial Dimtwats. Having campaigned against Labour and 
Liberal Democrat at local and general elections, I can say that the 
Liberal Democrats are the most obnoxious and objectionable campaigners 
in British politics. As far as I can determine, their only consistent 
core belief is that they hate the Conservatives. I can't find any other 
convincing explanantion for their confused mish-mash of policies.

During one campaign they put it about that I had just undergone a 
unpleasant divorce from my wife. I know this because one voter rang the 
campaign office to enquire about the "rather nasty candidate" i.e. me, 
who had just made his long suffering wife's life absolute hell. The 
agent, who answered the phone, was able to say to the caller that they 
could speak to the candidate in person, but the caller hung up. This was 
2 years before I got married for the first time.

Whenever we met the Labour campaigners in the streets, we generally 
stopped to have a bit of banter - mind you they were rather "old" Labour 
- and it was all rather pleasant. But the Liberal Democrats would slink 
along the other side of the street, refusing to say anything.

Now there are Liberal Democrats who I could get on with; most of the Lib 
Dem Councillors on Horsham DC were likeable enough, but one or two were 
unspeakably vile. The sort who are so convinced that their own and their 
party's  superiority over their fellow men permits them to say and do 
what the hell they like.

Now I don't need to re-iterate where my political loyalties lie, and I 
suspect I'm in a minority of one in the SLUG. But I'm not one of those 
who thinks the Conservative Party is the be all and end all, and, whilst 
I will fight my corner, I won't ram it down anyone's throat. (Well, 
unless it's for their own benefit - GEOFF! - :-P - you know, stiff 
medecine and all that!)

And please don't get me started on that utter buffoon Charles Kennedy. 
Michael Howard may not be your cup of tea, but Charles Kennedy - 
puhleeeeese!

So Geoff old chap, don't waste your vote on those idiots, vote for 
someone else - please?
