Not quite sure where Alanabit studied math, but from what I can remember of my school years, 35% of the vote does not equate to more people wanting labour than not. The first past the post system virtually ensures that the majority do not win, no matter which party comes out on top.

At least, as Charles Kennedy said, we are reaching a point where three parties have some influence, and if he departs from the Libdems traditional policy of supporting Labour right or wrong, and cherry picks the best policies of both sides, they could well be electable in four years time.

At the least, we would be able to judge where they stand on vital issues, something they have signally failed to communicate thus far.

Mr. Kennedy please note, if you want my vote in 2009/2010.
