It's a sad state of affairs in the UK. For years and years the "two party" mentality has ruled the roose - last election Labour (well, actually Blair) was saying that if you didn't vote for Labour you were going to let the Tories in. Which basically reads - "we're shit scared that the LibDems are getting all our votes, so lets get the old idea that "no one votes for the LibDems so they'll never get in". grrrrrrrrr.
