So be it. Would rather vote for something and someone that shares my values than a phoney conservative party just to keep out Labour.

Labour brought Britain to her knees,both in the 70's and in the 00's.She's just recently been able to struggle up from her knees but is still quite shaky on her feet.In that weakened state,what would 5 years of Red Ed do for the country?

Only one of two people will be PM 13 months from now (and Farage isn't one of them...for better or for worse). One is noticeably imperfect,the other's a Maoist.As sad as it is sometimes,in the *real* world,one must choose the lesser of two evils because failure to do so will result in victory for the *greater* evil.

Britain survived 13 years of Labour before Cameron, I’m sure we can survive 5 of Miliband.

The issue of europe is fundamental to our democracy. I saw again, I won’t vote for someone or something that has disdain for things I believe in.

More and more people are waking up to that reality, and it will be to the benefit of us all in the long run. I believe in Nigel Farage and UKIP - If I didn’t, I wouldn’t be voting for them and sending them money.

But in the long term, always voting for the lesser of two evils will ensure that the lesser of two evils will always persist, and the greater good will never emerge.

As for "Red Ed", as you call him, he's more like chameleon Ed, turning mildly pink when he needs to. IOW, He talks the talk when he's addressing the remnant of the true socialist revolutionary guard in the Labour party, but he doesn't really believe any of it. He knows that socialism in the UK was an utter disaster and that adherence to its tenets now would lead to economic catastrophe and ultimately electoral suicide.
