2009/2010 General Election

As a non-British person I've always wondered why some lib dems voters don't just switch to labour when the conservatives lead. Aren't they fairly close ideologically?

If we ever were, it's not the case now. (I am  a LibDem member)

I would not vote for Labour at the moment - on issues such as ID cards, tax, education - we just don't match. I would rather spend my efforts helping my own party than shoring up the failures of another.

I don't understand how Ed Balls can be liked by anyone beyond his own postcode. Or street, at the most.
