Yeah, since I posted that it seems according to polls (to be taken with a pitch of MSG) that things have shifted.
I was actually talking about this with my furry housemate today in the kitchen. I do get wound up by people who tactically vote, primarily Lib Dem supporters and sympathisers. Whenever I hear a comment along the lines of 'I would vote for them but I want so and so out so I'll vote this', or 'I would but it would be a wasted vote as they won't win' makes me roll my eyes.
I can appreciate the pragmatism, but look what's now happened! There's a tv debate, the apparent perception is Mr Clegg did well and suddenly those same Lib Dem supporters are now saying in the polls they'll vote for him just because other people have changed their tune! I take a step back and I see so many things that make me laugh it's unreal. It's amazing what public perception and word of mouth can do.
