We don't actually have ANY viable parties at present. And no, we shouldn't give the Lib Dems a go just because they happen to be there - they have to convince people to vote for them by giving some inkling of what they would do if they got close to power. Something they have failed to do since Jo Grimond was a lad.

My earlier reference to them being like a mental fallback holds water (please don't be so naive as to call that institutionalised) - because even though we know they are complete tossers, we just don't want them to have the opportunity to prove it.
