I have always been a Liberal Democrat voter.
I refuse to vote Conservative bcause I remember Thatcher, and then Major making a real mess of things. I naively thought once Labour got in that things might actually you know change, but no same old same old.
I still remember watching election night coverage back when Patten was getting booted out of his safe seat, a crowd was outside the Town Hall or wherever the votes were being counted chanting "Tories out! Tories out!"
not long after that Blair and co. got onto a stage and they played "Things can only get better" as the sun rose.
I remember thinking to myself maybe they're right, despite hating that D:Ream song there was a feeling of euphoria that night....
Fast forward another deacde and here we go again.
I firmly believe that if you got everyone in the entire country to look at the policies and promises of the 3 main political parties and then if everyone voted based on which parties policies most closely lined up with their own, that the Lib Dems would win by a landslide.
Every night I watch a General Election, I am glued to the TV thinking "one time" "one time" ....
Sad thing is that even if it did happen and the government was run by those yellow people, whose emblem is a 7 winged flying worm, would much actually change?
I wonder if there will be BBC footage come election night, of a crowd of Tory supporters, replete with soundbite friendly placards, clustered around a famous landmark of some safe seat Labour city shouting "Labour Out! Labour Out!" and whether they'll be the same shouting people as last time around...
Do you ever wonder the older you get whether there is such a thing as too cynical?
