Principles vs. family's best interest?

[thebigbadmouse]

Firstly, I would normally vote Lib Dem, and feel really strongly that if everyone who tells me 'I would vote Lib Dem but they'll never get in so it's a wasted vote' actually voted Lib Dem, then they might have a fighting chance.

However, as a libertarian leaning individual, who is delighted to hear that the education bill has lost Clause 26 and Schedule 1 - the ones interefering in home education, I now don't know what to do!

If I stick to my principles and vote Lib Dem, I'll feel proud of myself, but Labour might stay in, and carry on with their plan to erode our rights as parents bit by bit. If I vote Tory in the hope that it will increase the chances of Labour being kicked out, I will be going against my principles.

So, without any debate on why I would vote either way - WWYD in my position, with my beliefs and principles?

Depends on the split in your constituency I think.

Here Lib Dems are second to Labour - Tories don't do very well. Voting Lib Dem is most likely to take the seat away from Labour.

Do you know what percentages of the vote your candidates got last time?

Now that is a good point...I don't think we'll get rid of our Labour MP whatever I vote...well that'll make the decision a little bit easier.

Where can I find out how the local vote was split last time round?
