Considering that no one's set out any real policies as of yet (although the way David Cameron's going it looks like he's intending never to do so), I can't really say other than it won't be Labour. Or BNP or UKIP, obviously.

I vote for the Lib Dems too, not because I want them in power but because I want there to be enough of them to kick up a fuss when Labour or the Tories start doing something utterly retarded.

The top three are really the only ones who you can ever bet on getting more than 1 or 2 seats in the House of Commons, ever.
Actually, I'd go further than that.
The BNP are a fringe Neo-Fascist group that have never scored more than 50,000 votes nationwide (and most of those were in Bradford).
The UKIP like to think they're the 4th party but all they get are disgruntled Conservative voters who are obsessed with Europe (and although UKIP do have policies on other issues, they don't act like it).
The Monster Raving Loony Party is, of course, your classic joke party that's been rehashed every year since the 70s with the effect of getting 32 stoner votes from somewhere in Bristol.
The Green Party would probably take number four spot, but that's still stretching it a little because they're just as limited by the mono-issue image as UKIP is (only taking middle-class urban liberals from Labour instead).
Stu's selection of parties is quite random. He'd probably have done better to say Labour/Conservative/Lib Dem/Other (please specify).
Though yes, most countries have a lot of parties compared to America. Except China, maybe. >_>

All parties treat their own people like that when they've "done something wrong"...supposedly. At least Kennedy's back in the party fold now, anyway.

I propose the Taco Party!
And as for the way the Lib Dems treated Kennedy...I think a party that shits on its own still has the moral edge over a party that shits on everyone else...

I wasn't planning on using my second vote (hell, I don't like ANY of them enough to vote twice...) I was just amused at how inept the postal vote system is.
