I watched the third and final election debate last night. David Cameron and Gordon Brown were back to arguing with each other, Nick Clegg in the middle shaking his head and trying to look above it all. Basically Cameron's message was big society, small government, start cutting spending and waste now, it is time for change. Labour is don't rock the boat and risk the recovery, we can't cut spending this year. The Conservatives claim backing from big business, Labour the backing of nearly all countries round the world for their recovery plan. The Lib Dems are all about fairness and working together with the other parties to solve the countries problems.
My problem is I think they all have some good ideas, if you pool them all together we might get somewhere. So really I want a hung parliament, I want voting reform pushed through and I want the parties to talk to each other and work together.
Unfortunately none of this has particularly helped me decide who to vote for. I like the Lib Dems fresh, co-operative approach and I like many of their policies. Alas I live in a Labour / Conservative marginal so is a vote for Lib Dems a wasted vote? Still some thinking to do methinks.
