The only real momentum is the ongoing disillusion with both main parties. The debates seem to have reminded people that we're not actually a two party system. Or we don't have to be.

I can't believe the news is saying it was a close run thing last night, Gordon looked an idiot again, Cameron just spouted party spin ad nauseum and Clegg kicked arse.

Was this the Right owned news? I've avoided angering myself with seeing the headlines of the papers from recent days, but I hear they're hilariously biased. We can also discount any poll by YouGov, CEO Nadhim Zahawi, who's standing as a conservative MP:

I certainly hope the post-debate 'Cleggomania' translates into actual votes. I've always leaned to the Lib-Dems but never actually voted because our definition of democracy is shit:
"In 1983 the Liberals got 25% of the vote and Labour got 27%.
This gave the Liberals 23 seats and Labour 209 seats."
Those are actual real figures that I've quoted from someone else from another forum somewhere. The BBC have got a nifty electoral seat calculator online, and if you put in the numbers from one of the polls that said Clegg won, then it would still mean the Lib-Dems get only about half the seats of the other parties.
So the only realistic hope is the hung-parliament scenario, and a Lib-Lab pact.
Wth that in mind, I'll definitely be voting this year, and I'll also try to convince the UKIP supporters/closet-racists that I'm sharing a house with to think of voting Lib-Dem since they're offering a referendum on UK membership to the EU.
