Yet another typical visceral post by a Tory voter who's first instinct is to denigrate and attack, I wonder why the polls are not showing the Tory party steaming ahead as Labour did in 97?
Could it be that a lot of people believe that Cameron is a different kind of Tory to past incarnations?...I'd say yes most fair minded people would agree that was true, the problem comes when they ask "has the party itself really changed"?
In my opinion thats whats stopping them charging ahead, fear of the old nasty party...a perfect example of how you expressed yourself above.
If you are this bitter and angry now methinks you'll be psychotically apoplectic on the morning of the 7th.

Minor issues with your statement.
1) I'm not a Tory voter, the only time I have voted Conservative in anything was for Boris Johnson in the last mayoral election.
2) I stand by my comment that wanting a hung parliament is idiotic. Based on previous evidence they accomplish nothing.
3) I point you to a part of my post you quoted 'or ideologically diametrically opposed to me' - plenty of intelligent, productive people who simply disagree with me in this regard. To believe Labour's baseless attacks or their promises requires either a willingness to let things slide or a lack of intellect.
Other than that from where I am the nasty party based on campaigning is the Labour party with their offensive cancer mailing, cynical mud throwing, pretty transparent bribery and inability to use their record of the last 13 years to any depth to justify their own re-election. Their record is simply so poor in most regards that this is all they can do. I would say voting for that requires either being gullible enough to buy their rhetoric, preferring their 'State knows best' way of doing things or being, like yourself, left leaning and not wanting the alternatives. Hope you are happy to lean some more to the left if you plan on voting for them though looking at their manifesto
Incidentally that you automatically assumed I was a Tory voter speaks more for your own prejudices than mine. I have a similar view of David Cameron to Barack Obama, he's a lightweight. That they haven't buried Labour in the polls yet suggests either serious issues on the Conservative side or serious issues with the electorate because there really isn't that much for Labour to point to that justifies the polls being as close as they are.
