Don't Vote Liberal

Clegg has shown his true colours, he wants a Tory government. Or he isn't very bright.

On TV this morning he said that if Labour is third in the popular vote he would no support them. He does not understand the British electoral system. Because many Labour supporters in seats where Labour is third might want to vote tactically, as Compass has suggested. But in doing that the popular vote for Labour would go down so if Clegg wants Labour voters to support the Liberals in marginal seats he had better change his tune.

The difficulty is that in the British system the popular vote has very little meaning. So remember a vote for the liberals is now a vote for the Tories in government!
