Yes, you heard me. If you are based in the UK, get out there and vote for the Liberal Democrats. I shall elaborate later today (just hoping to catch early voters at the moment).

Update: 22:10 (Voting is over now):
Clearly the current Labour government needs to be retired so that it can be refreshed (I do feel that Gordon Brown is unable to take the country in the direction he wants because he has been a senior figure for so long and perhaps supported Tony Blair more than he should have), and the Conservatives will be the government of the rich, by the rich, for the rich. Therefore, the only party that can realistically bring change for the better is the Liberal Democrats. Before the election campaign, most people didn't even know who Nick Clegg was, whereas the television debates have helped to show off both Nick and the policies of the Lib Dems (as they are often called) to the British public - consequently the Liberal Democrats have risen from the perennial third party in British politics to a serious contended for this election (indeed, they were even the most popular party at one point recently, according to several polls). Newspapers and even celebrities have switched their loyalties to the Lib Dems, including people involved in comedy such as Tim Minchin (who I did a post about recently) and possibly, by implication, Graham Linehan (creator of shows such as Father Ted and The IT Crowd) (I offer you this information not because I think you should use celebrities as inspiration for your vote but, rather, because their comedy exposes their views and the way in which their mind works, whether or not you feel your views align with theirs will tell you to an extent, whether or not you are likely to want to vote for the same party). Even the internet in general seems to support Nick - I highlighted abuse of David Cameron several months ago, but here is just a taste of the Lib Dem support.

I could go on for ages about various issues, but nobody likes reading through a huge amount of text on a blog, so comment if you want me to talk about more stuff.

Election summary...
This is a rather good summary of the aftermath of the election that's worth watching if you missed out on events in any way...
