My constituency is covered with Conservative posters. Nothing from the other two parties, though, and with good reason: every penny spent by Labour/Lib Dems in my constituency is a penny wasted.

Yeah, but you live in Essex. It's just Conservative country out there, I bet the other two parties don't even try. In fact, I would be surprised if they existed.

Oh, they try, and they do possess a couple of seats here and there, Lib Dems have a few councillors. I don't really mind, tbh, in this election I'm supporting the Tories, anyway. Does that make me a Tory? No. I just think that the Gov't deficit should be cut hard and fast, and that they will do it the fastest (still, not fast enough). Frankly, I see this as more important than any other policy coming into this election, as not sorting it out could cost the country, and the stability of some of its closest trading partners (the likes of Ireland, Iceland, Norway, Denmark, etc. - some of which are on the verge of collapse as it is), very dearly in the long run.

More worringly about the village(/town, I suppose) I live in, however, is that the BNP got the second highest amount of votes, with the Lib Dems at a semi-distant third during the last election. Not good. I, unlike most, believe that the BNP should be allowed to exist, but I sure as hell don't want them to be representing my interests.
