I can think of many reasons why I will not/have not voted Tory or Labour. With many reasons why I voted Lib Dem.

Yes, People are under the illusion that to vote for a party you need to agree with all their policies. I don't agree with the Liberal Democrats' Nuclear Policy but that wasn't a deal breaker for me. Whereas their standing on electoral reform and civil liberties are excellent. Reform has been the key issue for me as the Lib Dems will not win the election and I trust the Tories and Labour equally on the economy, the only way we shall get reform is if the Lib Dems have enough seats in a minority government to force a referendum on the issue.
I see positives in whoever wins to be honest. The Tories are likely to be the most aggressive in getting rid of the deficit and reducing out national debt. Labour are likely to the best at protecting public services, increasing the minimum wage, and not reducing benefits to those who need it.
