Many of us are tempted by the thought that the Lib Dems are the only option. Problem is that we only think that because all the rest are so shite. In truth, it's probable that their no-names are as bad as the rest. Imagine if we voted them in, only to find they were as bad as the current lot, where could we possibly go from there?

So I think we have to mentally keep the Lib Dems in reserve, as "a last hope in case all else fails", but with the intention of never having to fall back on it.
