I'll be voting lib dem.

I think they are an honourable bunch.

UKIP are a 1 issue party.

Rather than looking at the UKs problems and developing a wide perspective to cope with the wide range of issues in UK politics and understanding that politics has many conflicting ingredients, UKIP have built a party around the point of view that Europe is bad for the UK.

Europe is but one issue in a massive array of issues that any govenment need to have a mature practical and human angle on.

UKIP don't actually care about those other issues except in the context of their Anti european stance.

I personally would like to see clegg have a turn.

Reasons for and against are at least to do with how the liberals would govern and not to do with whether foreigners are a problem, which is a distraction from real politics.
