How are you voting compared to the last election?

There is a good website called

www.strategicvoter.org.uk

Goes through all the MPs, how they voted on the Iraq war and who is the nearest contender is if you don't want to vote for a pro-war MP. It does not ever recommend voting Tory - if the marginal is that close it usually says vote labour even if they are the most ardent of new labour MPs.

personally I'd love to live in Bow and have a chance to make a strong anti war and privitisation statement to Blair by voting for Respect. Get rid of a high profile new labour MP - what an opportunity. As it is I've got an old labour MP who ducked the issue of Iraq by abstaining. And she's an ex-chair of CND.

I don't live in it yet, but my neighbouring constituency is the most marginal seat in the country. Have already offered my services to to help in some way - Political Activist me

Re BNP - I think they'll actually lose votes because anyone with racist tendencies can now legitimately vote Tory without looking like a jack-booted Sieg Heiler
