Well, I got asked in a YouGov survey today whether I'd still vote for Labour if I were living in a Lib Dem/Tory marginal. My finger hovered over the 'I'd vote Lib Dem' option for a while, but then I thought about, uh, pretty much everything they've said and done since I've been politically active - came of voting age under the Coalition - annnnnnd I just couldn't bring myself to do it, honestly.
Whether I'd be able to hold my nose come actual polling day if I lived in a marginal seat - I don't: my home constituency is a Tory stronghold, and my uni's constituency is a Labour/Tory marginal that I can't vote in 'cause I commute to campus (and that I'm quite worried the Lib Dems' current posturing might win for the Tories, considering how close it was last time) - I don't know, but for now, I just can't stomach the idea of my vote being taken as an endorsement of that party.
